Josh Johnson Manages Commanders Offense in Christmas Day Loss

Josh Johnson, making his first NFL start since 2021 due to injuries to Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota, completed 15 of 23 passes for 198 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions, adding 10 rushing yards in the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys. The 39-year-old effectively managed the game. With Daniels out for the season, Johnson is likely to start again against the Eagles in Week 18 if Mariota remains unavailable.
