There's no such thing as moral victories in the NFL, so the Washington Commanders weren't celebrating anything in the locker room following their 27-26 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos.
But unlike in previous weeks, there were more positives to be taken from the outcome than the Commanders had experienced in months.
"I hate the outcome," head coach Dan Quinn said after the game. "But I loved the fight."
The Commanders (now 3-9) fought to the end against the Broncos, who came into the primetime game with one of the best records in the AFC, and even showed flashes of the team they expected to be in the offseason. The offense, which had Terry McLaurin back for the first time since Week 8, put up 419 yards -- the unit's best performance since Week 1. They converted eight of 17 third down
