The Washington Commanders had nothing to lose when they matched the Denver Broncos' touchdown in overtime. Head coach Dan Quinn went for a two-point conversion to seal the win, which was the correct call. Unfortunately, they fell just short of a stunning upset.
Kliff Kingsbury called the perfect play to scheme veteran running back Jeremy McNichols wide open. It was there for the taking, but quarterback Marcus Mariota couldn't get his pass over Broncos edge rusher Nik Bonitto when push came to shove.
Mariota had a great game aside from that. The signal-caller got his throws out on time.
