Antonio Gibson fumbled on the Washington Commanders’ first play in the fourth quarter of their 37-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
The Commanders did anything but that, as they turned the ball over five times and lost to Buffalo 37-3. Among the back-breaking turnovers was Antonio Gibson's fumble that he lost on Washington's first play of the fourth quarter after its defense forced a turnover on downs., and as he tried to go upfield and spin out of a tackle, he was hit by Bills cornerback Taron Johnson.
said he isn't going to fault Gibson for trying to make a play, though he could have better situational awareness. “Well, I think in this case, more than anything else, you go right back to him," Rivera said of Gibson's fumble."People say, 'Oh, you know, that had something to do with the way he carries the ball.' Well, you can't fault a guy for trying either. He spun, tried to get back inside and tried to spin again, and that's when he got hit. At that point, you also gotta say discretion is a better part of value.
There is never a good time to fumble, but fumbling right after the defense forced a turnover near midfield is among the worst situations to do so. The Commanders were down 16-0 and had a chance to make it a one-possession game with a touchdown and two-point conversion. Instead, Buffalo capitalized by scoring six plays later to make it 23-0 and stick the final dagger in Washington's hopes of making a comeback.
