Taylor Heinicke's diving TD pulls Washington closer to Buccaneers
LANDOVER, Md. -- Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke was corralled and in trouble. And then he did what he's done most of the night: He made a play.
Facing a third-and-5 from the Tampa Bay 8-yard line late in the third quarter, Heinicke dropped back to pass against a four-man rush. The pressure pinched him to the middle and he ducked forward as a defender reached for him.
Then Heinicke took off through the left side and down the sideline. He was going to get the first down, but Heinicke wanted more. So, as he crossed inside the 5, and with defenders closing in, he dove for the pylon for a touchdown with 2 minutes, 14 seconds left in the quarter.
