Washington Commanders and their fans are furious about a bad spot on their final drive, which may have cost them a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
They lost a very close Week 10 contest to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, but it appeared they should’ve had a chance to get closer to getting a field goal to take the lead if not for a terrible missed call.
In the fourth quarter of the loss, the Commanders were driving near midfield when quarterback Jayden Daniels completed a pass to Zach Ertz on fourth down close to the first-down marker.
The call on the field concluded that Ertz was short of the line to gain. It would go to review as Washington Commanders held out hope.

It would be reviewed, but once the ref came back to make his announcement, the call would stand.
Now, we are getting a good look at that moment, and it shows that the refs screwed the Commanders.
You can clearly see that Zach Ertz got his entire body over that line, yet the refs stated otherwise.
In the game, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels would complete 17 of 34 passes for 202 yards and no touchdowns.
Russell Wilson finished 14-of-28 for 195 yards and three touchdowns to go along with an interception.
Washington Commanders Fall To 7-3
After being a laughing stock for many years, the Commanders are doing better than anyone could’ve predicted.
The team may have lost on Sunday, but they are still atop the NFC East standings with a 7-3 record.
