LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — With so many changes to the starting offense — either because of injuries, such as to Jayden Daniels and Austin Ekeler, or coaching decisions seeking improvement after a bad loss — the Washington Commanders needed a bit of help from everyone.

They sure got it.

With quarterback Marcus Mariota filling in for Daniels and a committee of running backs finding holes behind a new-look offensive line, the Commanders produced 174 yards on the ground in the first half alone, and Washington beat the Las Vegas Raiders 41-24 on Sunday.

“We’ve got some boys in the backfield, man. You know what I’m saying?” said Chris Rodriguez, who started at running back and carried the ball on four of Washington’s initial five plays. “And we can all do everything.”

In addition to Mariota’s 43-yard scoring pass to Luke McCaffrey with a little more than two minutes left, Washington (2-1) got touchdowns via a 60-yard run by Jeremy McNichols, a 1-yard plunge by rookie seventh-round draft pick Jacory “Bill” Croskey-Merritt that was set up by Mariota’s 56-yard throw to Terry McLaurin and a 90-yard punt return by rookie fourth-round selection Jaylin Lane.

McNichols finished with 78 yards on four carries, Rodriguez — who was inactive for Weeks 1 and 2 — gained 39 on 11 runs, and Croskey-Merritt ran for 26 on eight touches. That doesn’t even include Mariota, who ran six times for 40 yards — including a 2-yard TD on the opening possession and a scramble just before halftime that ended in a sideline collision that left coach Dan Quinn bloodied.
