Commanders vs. Saints (Photo via FOX)While the Washington Commanders dominated the majority of the game against the New Orleans Saints, they allowed the home team to climb out of a 17-0 hole and nearly allowed them to erase a 13-point fourth quarter deficit.
They got zero help from the refs.
The Saints got the ball back, down by seven points, with 1:55 left.
Spencer Rattler, who took over at quarterback for starter Jake Haener, drove the team down the field and allowed them to tie or walk off with a win against the Washington Commanders.
Facing a fourth-and-three from the Commanders’ eight-yard line, Rattler completed a short pass to tight end Foster Moreau.
They had zero timeouts as they came up just short of the goal line.
With the clock winding, the Saints had to hurry to the line and spike the football to give themselves one more play before it was too late. They got a ton of help after a ref inexplicably signaled for the clock to stop at nine seconds.

This is inexcusable in pro football.
The Saints got 3.94 “free” seconds today, and it very nearly cost the #Commanders the win.
The clock stopped at the 9 second mark, and they snapped the ball at the 4 second mark.

The Saints benifitd as they were able to spike the ball. They would then score, but instead of tying the game, they went for the win over the Washington Commanders.
Luckily, they did not convert, and Washington won the game.
It stopped what would’ve been a terrible loss that they did not deserve.
Refs Admit to Nearly Game-Changing Mistake That Almost Cost The Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders beat the New Orleans Saints 20-19 in Week 15.
The Saints scored a touchdown on the final play of regulation to put themselves in position to go for two. That never should’ve happened since a ref stopped the clock on their second-to-last play.
Unfortunately, that play was not reviewable.
REPORT: Dwayne Haskins Wrongful Death Lawsuit Undergoes “Significant Development”

A wrongful death suit for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins just got a major update on its status.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that a dismissal has been filed in the state of Florida for the wrongful death case of the former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback.
Rick Ellsley, who is an attorney representing Kalabrya Haskins, offered a statement following the dismissal.
“Each of the various defendants have paid their respective settlements, so the wrongful death case in Florida is now closed,” Ellsley said.
Back in 2022, the world woke up to the news that Dwayne Haskins had tragically been killed after sustaining fatal injuries when he was struck by a dump truck and another vehicle on I-595 near Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
His rental car was later found out of gas on the highway shoulder near the scene where he was struck.

The autopsy report revealed at the time that Haskins had a blood alcohol content of .20 and had tested positive for the painkiller ketamine. He had been training in the area with some of his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates and had gone to dinner with them before visiting a club with a friend.
Dwayne Haskins’ family filed a lawsuit in 2023 that accused the truck driver of speeding, driving recklessly, and traveling with a weight that was above the legal limit. The suit also named the truck owner and his company while pointing to negligence by the Florida Department of Transportation, the rental car company, and the contractor providing signage along 1-595.
Dwayne Haskins Never Got The Chance To Show His True Talent
Haskins, a former star quarterback for Ohio State, played three NFL seasons with Washington and Pittsburgh.
His tragic death on April 9, 2022, brought an end to his life and any chance for him to show his true talent in the league.
Haskins, who was 24 at the time of his death, was selected as the No. 15 overall pick by the Washington Commanders in 2019. He joined the Pittsburgh Steelers two years later.
He never got a chance to suit up and play a regular season game for the Steelers.
In 16 appearances for Washington, Haskins threw for 2,804 yards with 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
