Washington found themselves down 22-20 with under two minutes left to play. On third down, Carson Wentz found Jahan Dotson in the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown.
Wentz completed 27 of his 41 passes for 313 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in his Commanders debut. Dotson also had a strong debut, catching three passes for 40 yards and two touchdowns. Dotson's performance earned him the Pepsi Offensive Rookie Of The Week.

On Wednesday, Swift landed on the injury report due to an ankle injury. Swift missed a second-straight practice on Thursday.
Detroit is also dealing with injuries along its offensive line. Center Frank Ragnow has missed two straight practices due to a groin and foot injury, while Jonah Jackson was out due to a finger injury after practicing on Wednesday.
Guard Tommy Kraemer was placed on the injured reserve because of a back injury. Kraemer was starting in place of Halapoulivaati Vaitai, who was already on the IR due to a back injury. Offensive tackle Taylor Decker returned to practice on Thursday and was limited with a calf injury.
Guard Wes Schweitzer missed practice on Thursday for the Commanders due to a hamstring injury. Defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, safety Kamren Curl, guard Trai Turner and linebacker Cole Holcomb were all limited at practice for the Commanders.
