Jacoby Brissett’s comeback falls short; Washington Commanders lose to the Los Angeles Rams 28-20

December 18, 2023 by Hogs Haven

NFL: Washington Commanders at Los Angeles Rams
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

Another loss

The Washington Commanders were down 13-0 going into the 2nd half, and they quickly let the Rams score on a busted play that saw Cooper Kupp wide open. Washington needed to put some points on the board, and they did that on their second drive of the half. Rookie RB Chris Rodriguez and WR Terry McLaurin moved the ball down the field. Sam Howell hit Curtis Samuel in the endzone for a 19 yard touchdown.

The Washington Commanders were down 28-14, and got back in the game after Jacoby Brissett came in and hit Terry McLaurin for a much-needed touchdown. Washington got the ball back and tried to repeat that magic on the next drive. Brissett connected with McLaurin for another big-time throw that was initially ruled a touchdown. McLaurin was down at the 1 yard line, and Washington eventually got it in after multiple tries to cross the goalline.

Devon Witherspoon drops another pick:

Should have been picked again. Sam Howell got duped by the coverage look.

— Riggo’s Rag (@RiggosRag) December 17, 2023

Howell’s 3rd and 5 pass should have been intercepted by two different Rams. Tried to fit a ball in between a CB and a safety.

CB dropped it. Safety under cut McLaurin and was waiting on ball as well.

Tress Way is back:

Jamison Crowder punt return:

Jamison Crowder has been one of the few bright spots this season.

The punt returns have been much improved with Crowder back there.

— Scott Abraham (@Scott7news) December 17, 2023

One thing is clear, Jamison Crowder hasn’t quit. #HTTC

That was the first time the Rams have punted all day. There’s 9:13 left in the third quarter

Terry McLaurin missed penalty:

That shot to McLaurin is something he’s been hoping to see more of; take a shot even if contested coverage.

Interception.

Howell’s pass was too ambitious, and too high for McLaurin who tips it and the Rams defense picks it. #HTTC pic.twitter.com/jqAbPZjYwP

Wow, Jacoby Brissett comes in and instantly moves the chains, with the drive ending with a TD to McLaurin on this beautiful route/catch.#HTTC pic.twitter.com/5awtqwL07y

Bad Cheeseman block leads to blocked XP:

ANOTHER BAD SNAP. This one costs the Commanders an extra point in an 8-point game.

Rivera gave Cheese a longer leash than Howell. I would’ve lost a lot of money.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) December 18, 2023

28-20. XPT blocked. Everyone knows they should have gone for two.

— Rick Snider’s Washington (@Snide_Remarks) December 18, 2023

Failed onside kick:

I think onsides kicks are like 1-for-30 this season. They can’t be recovered any more. The league has made them impossible to recover so you have to adjust accordingly. https://t.co/z6e6YmkNoI
