After watching Washington pull off a stunner against the Lions, Magic Johnson celebrated the Commanders for a job well done.

The Commanders are making a lot of fans very proud this year, including minority owner Magic Johnson. ASHBURN, Va. — There’s no doubt that something special has been happening with the Washington Commanders this season.

Johnson was part of an ownership group that purchased the Commanders from Dan Snyder in 2023. That group has found quick success, replacing the franchise’s general manager and head coach six months after taking over, then watching that management draft quarterback Jayden Daniels and become one of the most surprising teams in the NFL this year.
