The Washington Commanders have announced that veteran quarterback Josh Johnson will start in their Christmas Day matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. This decision comes as current starter Marcus Mariota is sidelined due to injuries to his hand and quad. Johnson, at 39 years old and having not played as a starter in recent years, steps into the role in what some analysts view as a challenging position for the Commanders, who have already faced a disappointing season. This game marks an important moment as Johnson aims to deliver a stronger performance and possibly a Christmas miracle for the team.
