What happened: Backup quarterback Marcus Mariota replaced an injured Jayden Daniels and appeared to throw a touchdown to Dyami Brown. Officials ruled the pass incomplete on the field and upheld the call upon replay review. Rules analyst Dean Blandino expressed surprise on the Fox broadcast, stating that Brown established possession with his knee in bounds.
Why it matters: The controversial ruling prevented the Washington Commanders from scoring a touchdown. After Mariota threw an incomplete pass to Stefon Diggs on the following play, Drew Stevens converted a field goal. The Dallas Cowboys currently lead the Washington Commanders by a score of 30-20 as the game remains in progress.
By the numbers: Drew Stevens has accounted for eight points in the contest.
What to watch: Washington will attempt to mount a comeback as the second half progresses. The Commanders will also await further updates regarding the severity of the injury to Daniels.
