Commander wide receiver Treylon Burks probably said, “Look at this,” before playing his sensational game. Burks received a pass from Mariota in the end zone. Somehow he managed to catch the ball with one hand and score the game-winning touchdown.
It was Burks' second career touchdown, and the Commanders really needed it.
Mariota tried to keep the offense going with four minutes left in the game. He's found a tight end Zach Ertz open in the middle of a field. The ball was thrown high and Ertz was able to intercept the pass and knock it down.
