The ball was snapped with 12 seconds left and, instead of throwing it to Sinnott or out of bounds, Daniels moved around the backfield, never threw it away and was tackled as seconds ticked away.

Daniels failed to throw away or connect on final play, costing Commanders a potential win.

Daniels failed to execute the final play call in a critical end-game sequence against the Giants. The play was designed for him to connect with tight end Ben Sinnott on the left side or immediately throw the ball out of bounds to stop the clock with 12 seconds remaining. Instead, Daniels moved around the backfield, never threw it away, and was tackled as seconds ticked away, resulting in a 27-27 tie. Head coach Dan Quinn acknowledged that the sequencing didn't fall on Daniels but emphasized the quarterback's responsibility: "We have to stop the clock. We have to know it's an o-zone situation. We have to relay that as an offense. It starts from everybody, (from) the top down, but ultimately, it's on me." Quinn later clarified that the out-of-bounds throw or clock decision should have come from the sideline, not the quarterback.
