The Commanders have their first lead since the first quarter.
Washington, which trailed 17-7 at halftime, has dominated the second half and now has a 21-17 lead.
The Falcons had three plays for minus-1 yard in the third quarter and the Commanders 25 plays for 145 yards.
Chris Rodriguez’s 2-yard touchdown run with 13:03 remaining in the fourth quarter gave Washington the four-point advantage. Jayden Daniels threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz to start the scoring in the second half.
On their 14-play, 70-yard, go-ahead drive, the Commanders went for it on fourth-and-5 from the Atlanta 39. Daniels completed a pass to Jeremy McNichols that Jessie Bates initially had stopped short. But McNichols fought for the first down and got it to keep the drive going.
Daniels is 17-of-26 for 165 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
