In the Washington Commanders' dramatic Week 2 win over the New York Giants, kicker Austin Seibert made headlines for his perfect field goal game, hitting all seven of his field goal attempts as the sole point scorer for the team.

While Seibert's role cannot be understated, another new addition to the team -- wide receiver Noah Brown -- was the unsung hero in Sunday's win.

Brown caught each of his three targets for 56 yards, averaging 18.7 yards per catch. While his stat line doesn't necessarily stand out, the veteran made one of the biggest offensive plays of the game, hauling in a deep ball on the second play of the Commanders' fourth quarter drive. The 34-yard gain moved the ball into Seibert's field goal range, allowing him to make his seventh kick of the day to break the 18-18 stalemate for the win over the Giants.

"We had a three-minute concept, front-side over to the left, and defense covered that really well and was able to get back to the end cut with Noah," quarterback Jayden Daniels said in his postgame press conference. "We kind of hit it earlier in the game when he made a nice catch for a slide, and he was able to win that route. I got the time needed, and he was able to beat the safety with the ball, and he took it from there."

Brown, who signed with the team on Aug. 27 after being released by the Houston Texans, didn't play in the Commanders' Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers. He didn't want to rush himself onto the field after signing with the team so late and decided to instead take time to learn the playbook and adjust to a new offensive scheme. The extra time clearly paid off Sunday.

"I was just happy to make the play," Brown said. "Just trying to focus in and execute on what I got to do in that moment to help us win and I was able to do that."

Being able to make a difference in his first showing at Northwest Stadium is something Brown expects of himself every time he takes the field. As he continues to get more comfortable in offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury's scheme, Brown will likely continue to take on a bigger role in the team's offense.

"It felt good, that's what I expected out of myself though you know," Brown said. "I am a professional and I've been in this league for a while, and when my number is called, I try to execute and I did a good job of that today."

Despite executing difference-making plays, Brown is not satisfied that each of the Commanders' six trips to the red zone ended in a field goal.

"I feel like we were driving down the field all game," Brown said. "We just didn't find a way to punch it in. When it came down to it at the end of the game, we just tried to execute on the moment at hand and we were able to do that."

If the Commanders want to improve their record to 2-1, Brown knows he'll need to continue making game-changing catches like the one he had against the Giants, although settling for field goals likely won't suffice.

The Cincinnati Bengals are off to an 0-2 start, but Brown knows it's important not to judge an opponent by their record, especially heading into Week 3. Behind quarterback Joe Burrow, the Bengals have been a strong contender in the AFC and competed for a Super Bowl just three years ago.

While he's going to relish in the win, Brown is ready to turn the page and focus on finishing drives, which is something the entire offense will need to fix in practice before heading to Cincinnati for Monday Night Football.

"It's hard to get a win in this league, so we're going to celebrate what we just did, but we have got to be a lot cleaner, and we can be a lot cleaner, and we will be going forward," Brown said.
