"Both times, offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury cost them dearly. First, Washington drove to a goal-to-go scenario from the five-yard line after a Marcus Mariota 44-yard scramble put them in prime scoring position. Kingsbury proceeded to call three consecutive runs for minimal gain, two of which were straight up the middle. The Commanders then went for it on fourth down, with Mariota throwing an incompletion intended for Zach Ertz."
"Instead of taking what should have been a touchdown lead, the score stayed tied at 13. The Commanders were able to stop the Dolphins twice, including an impressive goal-line stand of their own after Mike Sainristil muffed a punt return, and Washington got the ball back with one more shot at a game-winning score. They effortlessly made it past midfield, but then Kingsbury overthought himself once again. On first down from the Miami 40-yard line, he called for a Jeremy McNichols"
The Washington Commanders fell to 3-8 after a loss to the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, their sixth consecutive defeat. The defense improved after head coach Dan Quinn assumed defensive coordinator duties, generating stops and a goal-line stand. The offense struggled to execute, hampered by conservative and ill-timed play-calling from offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. Late-game sequences included three straight runs from the five-yard line, a failed fourth-down pass to Zach Ertz, and an overcomplicated drive that stalled at midfield. A muffed punt and a subsequent defensive stop created a final opportunity that the offense could not convert.
