Last night was one to forget for the Washington Commanders. This comes after the franchise managed to let a game that should’ve been there slip right through their fingers. Washington was holding tight onto a two-point lead when quarterback Jayden Daniels fumbled the ball during a handoff to Jacory Croskey-Merritt on a 3rd-and-1. Bears cornerback Nahshon Wright recovered the ball for Chicago, after which, ultimately, the offense moved the ball into position for Jake Moody to seal a 38-yard field goal and the win for the Bears.

As expected, this loss stung the Commanders’ supporters and rightly so, given how brutal this loss was. Among those Washington faithful was none other than Los Angeles Lakers superstar, Magic Johnson, who had a similar reaction to most: “The Commanders 25-24 loss to the Bears last night was heartbreaking💔,” he wrote on X. Johnson’s tweet not only expressed his feelings but truly encapsulated how the entire Commanders locker room felt. 

That’s because although it’s too early to predict but this loss could come back to haunt Washington. More so, after the game, the Commanders have fallen to 3-3 and are one game behind the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC West. While the franchise could end up making it into the playoffs. However, if they don’t, this Week 6 loss is what they’ll remember, especially the fumble by Jayden Daniels. As for Johnson, he’ll be hoping that his team can overcome this loss.

The minority owner is quite invested in his teams and is, in fact, a staple at several games alongside his beloved wife, Cookie Johnson. Not too long ago, the former Los Angeles Lakers guard was spotted attending several games, all the way from baseball to football to soccer, with his better half. One of those games he attended that day with Cookie was indeed a Commanders game, where they defeated the New York Giants. Speaking of which, the former NBA champion was in Milwaukee during this Commanders game with his wife.

Despite the Commanders’ loss, Magic Johnson enjoys a ‘sensational’ evening

While Magic Johnson was devastated by Washington’s loss to Chicago, he did get some relief from his other team, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The veteran was in attendance with his wife, Cookie Johnson, inside the American Family Field. Together, the pair witnessed the Dodgers get the better of the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1. The main man for the storied franchise was pitcher Blake Snell, who stole the show with 10 strikeouts. As you’d expect, the Johnson couple was thrilled with the win.

That’s why Magic Johnson took to X to express his feelings, similar to what he did for the Commanders game, except this time he was smiling alongside his wife. “Cookie and I enjoyed the @Dodgers 2-1 win last night over Milwaukee! Pitcher Blake Snell was absolutely sensational, and we are looking forward to Game 2 tonight!” Johnson said. The former NBA superstar also attached a lovely picture with his wife in which both are seen wearing Dodgers jackets.

It’s safe to say that by the looks of it, Magic Johnson was extremely happy with the result. Now, he and the Dodgers will be shifting their focus to the next game of the series tonight. Nonetheless, his day would’ve been even better had the Commanders finished what they started. But, unfortunately, that wasn’t supposed to be, as now Johnson will be hoping that his team bounces back in fashion, as he will also be keeping an eye on the Dodgers, who will try and extend their 1-0 lead against the Brewers.
