Nearly every game of Xavier Watts’ first NFL month featured either a noteworthy stat or a must-see highlight, and during a head-to-head against last season’s NFC runner-up, the circumstances were no different. Hoping to help Atlanta keep its grip on a double-digit second-half lead, Watts played centerfield on the Commanders’ downfield pass attempt, positioning himself perfectly for interception No. 2 of his young career. The Falcons moved to 2-2, following a 34-27 win over Washington, and in helping set the path, Watts contributed six tackles and a pick on Sept. 28, 2025.
