The Washington Commanders needed everything to go right to topple the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. It was a positive enough start throughout the first half, but missed opportunities proved crucial.
Washington forced NFL MVP candidate Patrick Mahomes into two early interceptions. This was a massive positive that kept the Commanders firmly in the hunt, and potentially even in the early ascendancy if these chances were seized.
Unfortunately, the offense failed to score a single point off these turnovers. And they eventually paid a heavy price.
