In the last minute of the game, Washington Quarterback Kyle Allen managed to complete a 22-yard touchdown pass to Cam Sims to leave Washington down one point. After a quick decision made by Head Coach Ron Rivera, Washington failed to complete a 2-point conversion and then failed to recover the onside kick.
