DENVER (AP) — Washington cornerback Benjamin St-Juste didn't flinch after Brandon Johnson snared Russell Wilson's 50-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass off a double deflection with no time remaining Sunday.
Washington rallied from an early 21-3 deficit to take a 35-24 lead, then had to hang on with no time on the clock.
The Broncos lost despite scoring touchdowns on their first three drives for the first time since 2010.
“This is a resilient team,” Washington's Sam Howell said after throwing for 299 yards and two TDs in his first road start.
The Commanders used a 32-3 scoring outburst to take control before the Broncos made it interesting at the very end.
