For three quarters, the Washington Commanders hung around against the Buffalo Bills. Even though their offense was stuck in reverse all day, it was just a two-score game as the Commanders took over for the first time in the fourth quarter.
Unfortunately for Washington, Buffalo’s defense was just too relentless throughout the afternoon, and they put the finishing touches on the Commanders in that final period of play. Buffalo took a 16-0 contest and opened up a 37-0 lead, only ceding a field goal with 46 seconds left after head coach Ron Rivera opted for the moral victory of avoiding the shutout.
