Chris Rodriguez Tallies Sixth TD, Leads Backfield in Commanders Win

Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez rushed 16 times for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles, also adding one reception for 18 yards. Despite Jacory Croskey-Merritt starting, Rodriguez led the backfield in touches and proved more effective, including a one-yard touchdown plunge. This performance capped his best career season, finishing with exactly 500 rushing yards and six scores across 13 games. As a restricted free agent, he is likely to return as backfield depth for Washington in 2026.
