Taylor Heinicke decided to test triple coverage on Curtis Samuel in the third quarter Sunday as the Commanders faced the Vikings.
What seemed like an ill-advised idea and throw turned into a 49-yard touchdown pass as the Vikings forgot to touch the Washington wide receiver after he somehow caught the football.
The Commanders lead 10-7 after the PAT.

The official did help a bit on the play, taking out a Viking DB.
