WATCH: Jacoby Brissett throws 2 late touchdowns in loss to Rams

Jacoby Brissett replaced Sam Howell at quarterback midway through the fourth quarter in Washington’s Week 15 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Down 28-7, Brissett led two scoring drives to make it a 28-20 game, but unfortunately for the Commanders, it was too little too late and the Rams held on for the win.

Brissett completed all four of his attempts on his first drive, which ended with a 29-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Terry McLaurin.

Here’s that touchdown to McLaurin:

After Washington’s defense forced a punt, Brissett went back to work, quickly finding McLaurin for what looked like another long touchdown. However, officials ruled McLaurin down at the one-yard line.

What happened next was the longest goal-to-go series in NFL history — or it seemed. When McLaurin was ruled down, there were just under five minutes remaining in the game. The Commanders didn’t score until there was 1:46 remaining in the game when Brissett found Curtis Samuel for a three-yard touchdown.

Here’s the 49-yard completion to McLaurin:

And here’s the touchdown pass to Samuel — his second of the game.
