The New York Giants and Washington Commanders' game came down to the very end but it was the final pass play that had the NFL world talking.
Taylor Heinicke dropped back to pass on fourth down. He narrowly missed a sack and fired a pass toward wide receiver Curtis Samuel who was trying to get open with Holmes draped on top of him. The cornerback somehow avoided a penalty.
