Taylor Heinicke made perhaps the play of the game in the Commanders' 32-21 defeat of the Eagles on "Monday Night Football."And Andrew Bogut Jersey all he had to do was take a knee.Heinicke's heads-up play occurred on third-and-7 from midfield with just under two minutes to play in the game. Philadelphia had his receivers covered and, rather than scramble, Heinicke elected to give himself up in the pocket. Moments after he took himself out of the play, two Eagles defenders Haason Reddick and Brandon Graham converged on him.Officials immediately called the Eagles for unnece sary roughne s, giving Washington first-and-10 at the Eagles' 47-yard line.MORE: highlight heaven (@lowlightheaven) Philadelphia used its remaining timeout to get the ball back at the 10-yard line Kelly Oubre Jr. Jersey with 5 seconds remaining, but couldn't get the desperation play to go; DeVonta Smith attempted a backward lateral that was recovered by Washington in the end zone to give the game its final score.After the game, Heinicke claimed it wasn't his "intent" to draw a roughing penalty on the play."That wasn't my intent," Heinicke said of the play. "I wanted to stay inbounds and keep the clock rolling. I think they made a little mistake there, so I was pumped up. They kind of put it in the bag there for us."Meanwhile, Graham took ownership of his mistake and said that he with the penalty."We can't put the game in the refs hands. In that position, I just gotta know. If he goes down, it's OK," Graham said. "For me, I was just hustling to the play trying to make sure he was down. I was just trying to get off Shaun Livingston Jersey the field.""I was just trying to touch him. Touch him down," he added. "It just looked like he was gonna get up, you just never know. That's on me. I'll own that one. It's on me ... I'm just more sick I let the team down in the moment. I'm gonna get over that."MORE: Fans might not like the way the game e sentially Kevon Looney Jersey ended, but there was more to the finish than the roughing penalty. Officials also mi sed an obvious facemask penalty on a Dallas Goedert fumble that helped Washington extend its lead to six points.That said, the Commanders' game plan of keeping Jalen Hurts and Co. off the field worked to near-perfection: Washington had a 40:24 advantage in time of po se sion, to just 19:36 for the Eagles. Coupled with some timely turnovers, the Commanders were able to do what no other team has this year in beating Philadelphia.Heinicke finished the game completing 17 of 29 pa ses for 211 yards and an interception in place of the injured Carson Wentz. His play, coupled with the win over the Eagles, prompted a question on whether he thought he earned the Brad Wanamaker Jersey starting job:"I dont know. Its their decision. Its out of my hands," Heinicke said. "Im one of those guys where if my number is called, Im ready to go. So, whatever decision they make, if its backing up Carson lets go! Im excited for him. See what he can do."
