NFL's dumbest moment of Week 5 had the Commanders taking a tie more offensive than Redskins nickname ever was

The Washington Commanders did not lose on Sunday, but what they did is the kind of stuff that helps get a head coach fired.

It's the kind of stuff that turns the fanbase against a beliked, but not beloved quarterback.

What the Commanders did was more offensive to fans than the franchise could convince most people their former Redskins nickname ever was.

The Commanders tied the New York Giants.

They replaced a likely victory with the NFL's dumbest move of Week 5, and that's saying something because there were a good number of candidates in the rankings for dumb moves.

That's like the guy holding the filleting knife saying he felt gutted for the fish.

So what happened? After blowing a 14-point fourth quarter lead, the Commanders found themselves in overtime on the Giants' 26-yard line with 55 seconds to play.

All they had to do at that point was kick a field goal and figure out how to celebrate.

But, they instead ran the football.

And then lined up with 22 seconds left to seemingly throw a pass on another play.

Except they had no timeouts remaining and quarterback Jayden Daniels clearly did not know it.

Daniels also could have scurried to his feet and spiked the ball because there were seven seconds remaining when he was tackled.

But he stayed on the ground looking around for a beat or two, as if waiting for new orders from headquarters.

The Commanders could not line up and spike the ball before time ran out.
