The Minnesota Vikings snapped the Washington Commanders’ three-game winning streak with a 20-17 win Sunday. Minnesota kicker Greg Joseph nailed a short field goal with 12 seconds remaining to break the hearts of Washington fans.
Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke had his ups and downs Sunday, throwing two touchdown passes and one back-breaking interception which completely tilted the game in Minnesota’s favor.
The Commanders defense was outstanding again, hitting Kirk Cousins over and over, but to his credit, the former Washington quarterback hung tough and made some big throws when it mattered the most.
We’ve compiled some of the best Twitter reactions from Sunday’s game that include Heinicke, Cousins, Dan Snyder and more.

Bad Heinicke
I don’t care the outcome of the game Taylor Heinicke is trash. He can’t throw the ball down the field with any accuracy, the only thing that gives him any value is the ability to scramble but that mostly is for nothing.

Get that piece of trash Taylor Heinicke off the field!

Walt Dowling, 52, here with his daughter. He was at the game a couple weeks ago and saw the fans with the "Sell the Team" signs, which stadium security supposedly asked to be taken down.
Said Dowling: "I decided to get the shirt to see if they tried to make me take it off.” pic.twitter.com/Ozxs2fkgxG

Tough to lose like that. But Dan Snyder is selling the #Commanders, and he per @JayGlazer is selling the entire team and by March. That is a win greater than anything that could have happened vs. the Vikings.
— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) November 6, 2022
Big picture is all that matters. Snyder is selling and that’s the biggest win for Washington since 1991. Eyes on the future.

As I’ve said for years, this feels like my team, not Snyder’s. And soon he will be gone and we can all feel good about the team again https://t.co/pLR4mRCbxr

If you don't think that INT is Dan Snyder's fault you're an idiot https://t.co/7aKM31hnCY
— Nate (@BarstoolNate) November 6, 2022
What a way to find a way to lose. Bad challenge, bad INT, terrible penalty, awful clock management. At least Dan is SELLING THE TEAM. We win these games once he's gone.
