Washington came back from being down 14 points in the second quarter to get the win. They scored a tie-breaking field goal with 2:04 left, and then kicked in another field goal after Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was picked off by Jon Bostic with 1:59 remaining.
Bills Down 49ers
The Buffalo Bills defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-24 Monday night, led by quarterback Josh Allen, who threw for 375 yards and four touchdown passes. It was the fourth game of the season for the 24-year-old Allen with at least 300 yards passing and three touchdowns, setting a new franchise record.
Jets Fire Gregg Williams
The New York Jets fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams Monday after a defense call at the end of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders cost the Jets what would have been their first win of the season.
Williams was widely criticized for calling an all-out blitz with the Jets seconds away from winning. Raiders quarterback Derek Carr threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to Henry Ruggs III, who was in man-to-man coverage with rookie cornerback Lamar Jackson, with five seconds left, giving Las Vegas a 31-28 win.
Ole Miss, Texas A&M Game Canceled
The college football matchup between Ole Miss and Number 5 Texas A&M that was scheduled for Saturday has been canceled because of positive coronavirus tests in Ole Miss’ program. If the game isn't able to be rescheduled, it will be deemed a no-contest. Ole Miss has suspended team activities, and they won't resume until at least Friday.
