Tie leaves Commanders unsatisfied, but result could be good in the long run

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Efe Obada, in theory, should be able to relate to a tie better than most. The Washington Commanders defensive end speaks with a British accent, lived in London for years and is such a soccer fan that last month, he participated in an online viewing party with actor Matthew McConaughey to watch England’s World Cup match with the United States — a game that ended in a draw.

But after New York kicker Graham Gano missed a 58-yarder at the end of overtime, Obada was ready for Sunday’s game against the Giants to continue.
