Sunday’s game between the Denver Broncos and Washington Commanders featured several great plays, but the biggest one came in overtime.
It didn’t take long for the Broncos to score. Bo Nix had four completions, including a 41-yard pass to Evan Engram, then handed the ball to running back RJ Harvey, who scored from five yards out to take a 27-20 lead.

Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota created some heroics late in the game. He found Deebo Samuel on 3rd and 14 for a 38-yard gain. He connected with Terry McLaurin to bring the game back to one point. With nothing to lose, the commanders decided to bet on two and win. Mariota dropped back to pass and his attempt to Jeremy McNichols was blocked by Broncos passer Nik Bonitto.
The Broncos won the game 27-26.
Nix finished 29 of 45 for 321 yards and a touchdown pass. Harvey totaled 35 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
Harvey and Bonito’s overtime exploits were just two of the few excellent plays made during the game.
Nix did his best to pull out all the stops. He helped give Denver the lead before halftime when he threw a touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton as he fell to the ground. He avoided the rush and his calf was about to hit the ground before throwing the ball to Sutton in the end zone.

BRONCOS’ BO NIX THROWS TD PASS WHILE FALLING TO GROUND IN STUNNING PLAY
Commanders receiver Treylon Burks probably said, “Look at that” before playing his feel. Burks received a pass from Mariota in the end zone. Somehow he managed to catch a hand for a crucial touchdown.
It was Burks’ second career touchdown and it was one the Commanders really needed.
Mariota was trying to keep the offense alive with less than four minutes left 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 catch the pass and knock it down.

But just as he was going to secure the catch, Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton dropped the ball and the pass was incomplete. Washington knocked the ball away.
Singleton was playing his first game since undergoing surgery for testicular cancer three weeks ago. It was a big play, but it came a few minutes too early as Mariota led the Commanders down the field to tie the game.
Mariota played as well as one could play in a hard-fought match. He was 28 of 50 with 294 passing yards and two touchdown passes. He also had 55 yards rushing.
