Commanders lose to Cowboys on missed PAT after Miracle TD

Exhilaration quickly followed heartbreak on Sunday when the Washington Commanders scored a miracle touchdown before missing the game-tying PAT.

With 33 seconds left in the game, the Commanders trailed the Dallas Cowboys 27-20. Defender Jayden Daniels threw the ball deep to the receiver Terry McLaurin. After catching the ball at the Commanders’ 40-yard line, McLaurin found enough space between the Cowboys’ defenders to race past them into the end zone to make it 27-26. All the Commanders needed was a successful extra point to tie the game and likely send the game into overtime.

Obviously, this was much easier said than done. The low snap somewhat disrupted the rhythm of the shot. Austin Seibertcausing the ball to hit just behind the left upright.

“For a tie, low fitting, this is no good!” Fox announcer Joe Davis said. “And the worst special teams day in history has a fitting ending!”

Analyst Greg Olsen struggled to find words.

“I’m not even sure what we just watched,” Olsen said. “The improbability of it all happening makes this ending possible, but it starts with a bad click. This is low. (Tress Way) does its job well, and…

As Davis noted on air, Seibert did not miss a single extra point all season. He missed two matches on Sunday.

“After Terry McLaurin’s 86-yard miracle,” Davis added, “a missed extra point and a missed opportunity for (head coach) Dan Quinn and commanders.”
