Jake Elliott connected on a 54-yard field goal attempt in overtime causing the Commanders to lose 34-31 to the Eagles, Sunday in Philadelphia.
The Eagles had driven 34 yards following Tress Way’s uncharacteristically subpar punt of only 29 yards, giving the Eagles the ball on their own 41.
The Commanders had forced overtime when trailing 31-24; they drove 64 yards using all of the final one minute and 34 seconds. On a 3rd & 17 from their own 40, Howell had connected with Byron Pringle for 15 yards, setting up a 4th & 2.
Howell then found Dyami Brown for 16 yards and a first down at the Eagles 29. He then connected with Terry McLaurin on consecutive passes of 8 and 11 yards, moving the ball to the 10 with five seconds remaining.
The Eagles rushed six, forcing Howell to throw immediately incomplete, leaving one second for one final play.
This time, the Eagles rushed only four, dropping seven, and Howell found Jahan Dotson on the right side of the end zone, sending the game to overtime.
