Jason Myers 43 yard FG wins it for Seattle, 29-26.

Defense couldn’t hold the Seahawks down in the final minute.

Commanders now 4-6, Seahawks 6-3.

This throw would be an impressive toss in the first quarter. But on the road, to tie the game, at Seattle, in the final minute? Wow throw. And how about Dyami Brown making an adult play. pic.twitter.com/ul4KKxIlyt

Here’s the 4th down pass interference by St-Juste pic.twitter.com/pCPXV8fEaW

— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) November 13, 2023

St-Juste tagged with a justifiable PI call on 4th and 5 (right hand over Metcalf’s shoulder) and then defense flagged for 12 men on the next play.

Soon after a face mask penalty on BSJ. Seattle at the 4.

Oh, boy.

If :52 left is “too much time to score” then your defense isn’t good enough.

(The Commanders defense…well. You know.) https://t.co/r4gJsW8A7W

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) November 13, 2023

Upon further thought: It was fine for Ron Rivera not to go for 2.

Going for 2 is ~50/50. If Washington hits, Seattle has :52, two TOs and would’ve become super aggro. Data doesn’t show a strong preference, per @ngreenberg. So, up to Rivera.

Since Week 4, Sam Howell is tied with Dak Prescott for an NFL-high 14 touchdown passes. Howell is tied for 17th most INT’s in that span with 4. Imagine I told you this before the season? What record would you predict at this point? But… the D has not played well. So: 4-6.

— John Keim (@john_keim) November 13, 2023

The Commanders still have 7 games before they have to decide if Sam Howell is their guy or not. No need to rule on that tonight.

But he sure did play like the guy today. And last week. And the week before that. And in a few other weeks this season. #Commanders

Andre Jones Jr.’s two passes defensed thus far are the most by a Washington defensive end since Chase Young also had two on Dec. 13, 2020 at San Francisco.

Commanders lose. The defense is trash, Sam Howell is excellent. Next week, they face the Giants. #HTTC
