From the Commanders weekly
Fourth and one at the Washington forty-six, eight thirty-four left in the second quarter, Washington up six to nothing. Craig Reynolds went up the middle and got nothing, and the Colts took over at the Commanders' forty-six. By win probability — the model's read on each team's chance of winning at that moment — that snap cost Washington about six points, and Indianapolis went the forty-six yards in nine plays for the touchdown that put it ahead for good. The Colts beat the Commanders thirty to thirteen. Washington is one and three.
