Before a potentially-pivotal 2nd & 13 sequence could take shape, Benjamin St-Juste could be seen pumping his arms, hoping to generate noise and energy from Washington’s home crowd; by play’s end, the celebration had taken care of itself. Zeroed in on a game-changing play, St-Juste negates the Giants’ explosive run with a perfectly-placed punch, forcing a fumble that miraculously avoids the out-of-bounds line and falls into the Commanders’ possession. The near-midfield takeaway helped prompt a game-tying field goal 10 plays later. A busy man throughout the 21-18 win over New York on Sept. 15, 2024, St-Juste accumulated six tackles, one forced fumble, and three passes defended.
