In a pivotal NFL Week 8 matchup, the Washington Commanders got a massive lift from one of their newest additions. Marshon Lattimore delivered a textbook interception of Patrick Mahomes early in the first quarter, flipping the tone of a tight contest at Arrowhead Stadium. It marked Lattimore’s first interception since being traded and a defining moment for a Washington defense still finding its identity.
The takeaway came on a crucial 3rd-and-10 just outside the red zone, with Lattimore undercutting a sideline route intended for Marquise Brown. It was a vintage display of instincts and timing — and exactly the kind of play the Commanders hoped for when they acquired the veteran Pro Bowler. With the game still scoreless, the turnover sparked an 83-yard response drive, capped by Marcus Mariota’s touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin.
The NFL took to their official X (formerly known as Twitter) account to highlight the moment and shared the clip with a caption praising the veteran’s anticipation and timing.

Mahomes, who had just two interceptions in seven games before Week 8, made a rare red-zone misread on the throw. The Chiefs were gaining momentum when the Commanders cornerback stepped up and made one of the most memorable plays of the night. The interception halted a promising Kansas City drive and swung energy back to Washington, whose defense entered the game ranked near the bottom in passing yards allowed.
At 29-years-old, Lattimore continues to prove that he can still be a game-changer. This pick not only gave the Washington defense a much-needed boost — it also reaffirmed Lattimore’s value in high-leverage situations.
For the Commanders, still battling for footing in the NFC, plays like this are essential. On a night when momentum swung fast, it was the Washington defense and a seasoned cornerback who made the moment matter most.
