"LANDOVER, Md. -- From his vantage point, Broncos quarterback Bo Nix could see that the Denver defense -- specifically its best pass rusher, Nik Bonitto -- just might be in position to preserve an overtime win even before the Washington Commanders snapped the ball. Turns out Nix was right, as Bonitto swatted away Marcus Mariota's pass on a two-point conversion attempt to secure a 27-26 Broncos victory in overtime Sunday night."
"In a topsy-turvy game Washington tied on the last play of regulation, the Commanders answered the Broncos' touchdown drive to open overtime with an 11-play, 65-yard TD drive of their own, as wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught a 3-yard scoring pass from Mariota on fourth-and-3. As the Commanders lined up for the two-point conversion, the Broncos took a look at the offense's alignment and called timeout. It was during that timeout, coach Sean Payton said."
Bo Nix recognized the Broncos' defensive alignment and anticipated the final play from the bench. Nik Bonitto swatted away Marcus Mariota's two-point conversion attempt to end overtime and secure a 27-26 Denver win. Washington tied the game on the final play of regulation and then opened overtime with an 11-play, 65-yard drive capped by Terry McLaurin's 3-yard touchdown catch on fourth-and-3. Denver called timeout as the Commanders prepared the two-point try, and defensive coordinator Vance Joseph adjusted the call during the timeout to position Bonitto for the decisive play.
