No QB switch...yet:
Ron Rivera "obviously frustrated" at halftime, according to CBS report.

Switch at QB? "Not at this point. We'll come out in the second half and see how it goes."

Chase Young DROY:
Chase Young is doing his best to keep Washington in the game. Works around the edge and knocks the ball out from Bridgewater's hands, then falls on the fumble to recover it. pic.twitter.com/DHvvqTuUVC
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 27, 2020
Chase Young is that dude.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) December 27, 2020
Forces the fumble on Teddy Bridgewater and immediately falls on the football.#WashingtonFootball ball! @youngchase907 pic.twitter.com/XdGZzsPj6j
Chase Young wont quit. Forced a fumble and got the recovery. 2 huge plays from 99 today

Cams Sims was WIIIIIIIIIIIDE open:
The best play on offense for the day for #WashingtonFootball almost looked like it happened in slow-motion. pic.twitter.com/CdL9uYlSVe

Washington settles for the FG:
Riverboat Ron not gambling on this offense converting while knowing they need three scores one way or another. https://t.co/9nqa6q9F6T

3rd round defense:
Panthers are now 6-for-11 (55%) on third down
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 27, 2020
Refs are not helping:
I have freeze-framed so you don't have to;
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) December 27, 2020
THIS is the precise moment the whistle was blown.#WashingtonFootball got absolutely robbed by that terrible officiating. pic.twitter.com/gFRoo8pczj
Rivera has thrown out the challenge flag, but you can't challenge a judgement call. That's unfortunate, because runner clearly still fighting, ball clearly out

Montez Sweat sack:
Montez Sweat using that long-arm more and more. Can be a huge weapon for him. pic.twitter.com/GEnG6gi9SQ
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 27, 2020
Montez Sweat just HITSTICK Teddy Bridgewater. Ouch. Out of field goal range now
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) December 27, 2020
Robert Foster sighting:
Robert Foster comes up big on 3rd down. 28-yard gain
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 27, 2020
Missed opportunity:
4th down sack - Looks like Haskins works the concept to his right off the snap, but had Cam Sims open to his left. After nothing was open, he began to scramble and never saw Sims, who was still open. Sacked and Washington turns it over on downs. pic.twitter.com/j1ZERu6dHZ
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 27, 2020
CBS showed the all-22 of that 4th down sack. pic.twitter.com/8hRHHjXI7O
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 27, 2020
Here is a picture of Cam Sims on the play where he took the 4th down sack. Tell me he doesn’t stare down his receivers pic.twitter.com/DPCjeIzJCD
— TheUKWashingtonFan (@WashingtonFanUK) December 27, 2020
Cam Sims was wideeee open over the middle on a sit-down past the sticks and Dwayne missed him for the sack on 4th down.

Taylor Heinicke replacing Haskins?:
Heinicke is taking snaps on the sideline. Looks like he is going in for Haskins https://t.co/PVf2WgvBHH
— Les Carpenter (@Lescarpenter) December 27, 2020
Kendall Fuller still making plays:
That is a GREAT pass breakup by Kendall Fuller. Clock stopped and offense getting the ball back
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) December 27, 2020
Taylor Heinicke has replaced Dwayne Haskins Jr.:
Taylor Heinicke is in at QB. Washington has benched Dwayne Haskins.

Antonio Gandy-Golden has not been good today:
Rough day for Antonio Gandy-Golden in his return.
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) December 27, 2020
Heinicke scramble:
On 3rd-and-2, Heinicke rushes for the first down and Washington gets an extra 15 on a personal foul. Out to the 34 now.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 27, 2020
4th down conversion:
Heinicke moves the chains on 4th down. @WashingtonNFL

Logan Thomas TD called back by penalty:
Holding called on Wes Schweitzer takes away the touchdown to Logan Thomas. 4th and 18 upcoming with 3:41 remaining
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) December 27, 2020
Turnover on downs:
Heinicke's attempt is broken up in the end zone, and the Panthers will take over with 3:34. They're up 20-6.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 27, 2020
Chase Young does not like losing:
Man, you can just see the anger radiating from Chase Young on the sideline. He is so pissed they are losing.
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) December 27, 2020
Build something around that kid.
Chase Young still playing his butt off, blowing up run plays. I love him.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) December 27, 2020
3 and out:
Washington's defense forces a three-and-out, but a booming punt means the offense will start inside its own 10-yard line. 3:09 to go with no timeouts
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 27, 2020
Taylor Heinicke throws his first TD for Washington:
TD

Heinicke just arrived here less than a month ago. The dude has given Washington life. What a throw.
— John Keim (@john_keim) December 28, 2020
Onside kick fail:
Panthers recover the onside kick, and that will do it from FedExField. @Washington suffers a 20-13 defeat, yet still controls its own destiny in Week 17 in Philadelphia.
