**Broncos Edge Past Commanders 27-26 in Final Seconds Thriller**
In a dramatic NFL showdown on Sunday, the Denver Broncos narrowly defeated the Washington Commanders 27-26, thanks to a game-winning field goal in the final seconds. The game took place on November 30, 2025, and was reported by ESPN early Monday morning, making the event part of the last 48 hours of sports news.
The closely fought contest featured multiple lead changes and big plays on both sides. The Broncos took an early lead, but the Commanders surged back in the second half to make it a tightly contested game. Denver quarterback Russell Wilson completed several crucial throws late in the fourth quarter that helped position the team for the decisive field goal.
With under a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, Broncos kicker Brandon McManus successfully converted a 45-yard field goal, putting the team ahead by one point. The Commanders had one final possession but were unable to move into field goal range before time expired.
Wilson finished the game with over 250 passing yards and two touchdown passes. Running back Javonte Williams also contributed with over 80 rushing yards and a touchdown. On the other side, Commanders quarterback Sam Howell threw for more than 220 yards and had two touchdown passes of his own, including a deep pass late in the third quarter that gave Washington a temporary lead.
The win improves the Broncos’ record to 6-6 on the season, keeping them in the hunt for an AFC playoff spot. The Commanders fall to 5-7, complicating their path to a postseason berth in the competitive NFC.
Both teams had solid defensive plays, with Denver forcing two turnovers and Washington recording three sacks. The close finish excited fans, with many calling it one of the most thrilling games of the season so far.
Next week, the Broncos will host the Los Angeles Chargers, while Washington faces the Miami Dolphins. With only a few weeks left in the regular season, every game becomes critical for playoff positioning.
