Two Quick, Quirky Scores Pull WFT Within 27-14 at Half in Buffalo
The Washington Football Team put itself in a huge hole early to the Buffalo Bills with two turnovers: a fumble by tight end Logan Thomas on the team's second possession and quarterback Taylor Heinicke's interception by Bills' cornerback Jordan Poyer on the next possession.

The Bills scored on their first possession as well, putting the Washington Football Team down 21-0 with 10:42 left in the first half.
But no Ron Rivera-coached team is going to call it quits.
After the Bills' third touchdown, Washington had the ball at its 25 yard line. It took Antonio Gibson just two plays to score, including his two-yard run up the middle followed by an incredible 73-yard catch-and-run.
On an unusual special teams play on the ensuing kickoff, the ball bounced high in the air untouched by a Bills player at the 25-yard line, and Washington kicker Dustin Hopkins hustled downfield to recover the live ball.

That recovery set up a short field for Washington, which went five plays and 24 yards ending in a Heinicke 4-yard scramble to the right for the touchdown.
Rivera's team has come back to within one score of the early 21-0 deficit that was the result of two quick turnovers on their second and third possessions of the game.
