Challenging a one-yard completion on first down isn't advised, but Commanders coach Dan Quinn did just that in the second quarter of Washington's Monday Night Football game against the Bears.
The challenge was successful, nullifying a one-yard catch by running back D'Andre Swift to turn a second-and-9 play into second-and-10. Sounds silly, right? Well, the move turned out to prove consequential, as the Commanders forced fourth-and-1 two plays later and got a big fourth-down stop to hold Chicago scoreless on the drive.
