The Washington Commanders' losing streak reached seven games on Sunday Night Football in Week 13, as they fell in a hard-fought overtime heartbreaker to the Denver Broncos.
Despite the result, this was the best Dan Quinn's unit has looked since the skid began. The defense looked improved again, keeping Washington in the fight during the fourth quarter. The offense had some standout moments, including a highlight-reel Catch of the Year candidate from wide receiver Treylon Burks.
However, the biggest difference-maker of all cannot be overthought. It was the long-awaited return of Terry McLaurin.
