He connected with Terry McLaurin to bring the game to within one point. With nothing to lose, the Commanders decided to go for two and the win. Mariota dropped back to pass and his attempt to Jeremy McNichols was blocked by Broncos pass rusher Nik Bonitto. The Broncos won the game, 27-26. Nix finished 29-of-45 for 321 yards and a touchdown pass. Harvey had 35 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Harvey and Bonito’s overtime heroics were just two of a handful of great plays made during the game. Nix did his best to pull out all the stops. He helped put Denver ahead before halftime when he threw a touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton as he was falling to the ground. He avoided the rush and his calf was about to hit the ground before he fired the ball to Sutton in the end zone. BRONCOS' BO NIX THROWS TD PASS WHILE FALLING TO GROUND IN STUNNING PLAY Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks likely said, 'Watch this,' before he made his sensation play. Burks received a pass from Mariota in the end zone. He, somehow, made a one-handed catch for a crucial go-ahead touchdown. It was Burks’ second career touchdown catch and it was one that the Commanders really needed. Mariota was trying to keep the drive alive with under four minutes to go in the game. He found tight end Zach Ertz open in the middle of the field. The ball was thrown high and Ertz was able to grab the pass and bring it down. But just as he was going to secure the catch, Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton knocked the ball loose and the pass was incomplete. Washington punted the ball away. Singleton was playing in his first game since he underwent testicular cancer surgery three weeks ago. It was a big play, but it came just a few minutes too early as Mariota would lead the Commanders down the field to tie the game. Mariota played as well as one could play in a hard-fought game. He was 28-of-50 with 294 passing yards and two touchdown passes. He also had 55 yards on the ground. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP Ertz finished with 10 catches for 106 yards. McLaurin had seven catches for 96 yards. Denver improved to 10-2 with the win and have won nine straight games. Washington fell to 3-9.
