The Miami Dolphins had a 10-point lead against the Washington Commanders with just over a minute remaining in the first quarter.
After an ugly offensive drive, Vic Fangio’s defensive took the field at Washington’s 38-yard line. And, on the first play of the Commanders’ possession, quarterback Sam Howell threw a ball right into the chest of Dolphins linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, who was able to return it for a touchdown.
Andrew Van Ginkel Pick-6!
