In the stands of the freshly decked-out FedEx Field, hundreds of die-hard fans eagerly await the electrifying spectacle.

This NFL season is already making history with drama, jaw-dropping plays, injury comebacks, and celeb cameos galore, and guess what? The Cardinals vs. Commanders game was a real touchdown ride for the home team in every sense.
