Only a week removed from guaranteeing his spot on the highlight reels with a 23-yard interception, Commanders cornerback Mike Sanristil wasn’t one to waste much time before chasing an encore. Wanting no parts of any late-game suspense in Week 5, the former Wolverine helped keep the Los Angeles Chargers at arm’s length on the scoreboard, protecting Washington’s two-possession lead with a falling-to-his-knees interception at the one-yard line. As one would expect, Sainristil’s heady play helped encourage a 27-10 victory on Oct. 5, 2025, pushing Washington above the .500 threshold. Dominant across the box score, Sainristil paired the momentum-sealing pick with nine tackles and two passes defended.
