"The Broncos then marched for a touchdown to start overtime, before the Commanders answered with an 11-play, 65-yard reply, capped by Terry McLaurin's 3-yard grab on fourth-and-3. That set up the conversion that would decide it all. Sean Payton said defensive coordinator Vance Joseph made a subtle but crucial adjustment during a timeout before the 2-point try, shifting into a look that could free up a rusher."
"Bo Nix had a clear view from the Denver Broncos sideline as the Washington Commanders lined up for a final, high-stakes snap in overtime. The rookie quarterback suspected Nik Bonitto was perfectly set to make the decisive stop before the ball even left Marcus Mariota's hands. Moments later, Bonitto broke free off the edge and batted down Mariota's 2-point attempt, sealing a 27-26 win for the Broncos on Sunday night."
