It wasn’t a good day for the Washington Commanders offense in Sunday’s 20-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Despite the fact that Minnesota entered the game as the NFL’s No. 28 pass defense, Washington and quarterback Taylor Heinicke could muster only 126 net passing yards.
Yet, at one point, it looked like the Commanders were about to go up 24-7 early in the fourth quarter.
Fortunately for Minnesota, Washington cornerback Benjamin St-Juste’s interception return for a touchdown was overturned as officials called him for pass interference and the game completely changed in favor of the Vikings.
After Heinicke’s touchdown pass to Dax Milne early in the fourth quarter, he threw a back-breaking interception on the next drive, and Minnesota’s offense kept Heinicke and Washington’s offense off the field.
