Mariota's apparent TD pass ruled incomplete after review against Cowboys
Summary

During the game between the Washington Commanders and the Dallas Cowboys, backup quarterback Marcus Mariota threw a pass to Dyami Brown that appeared to be a touchdown. The play, which was reviewed, was ultimately ruled incomplete despite evidence suggesting Brown made the catch and had a foot in bounds. Dean Blandino, a rules analyst, expressed surprise at the decision, noting that replay officials may have deemed Brown lacked control as he landed. Subsequently, the Commanders settled for a 47-yard field goal, trimming the Cowboys' lead to 17-13.
