Matt Gay was distraught after missing the game-winning field goal
The The Washington Commanders suffered a heavy defeat against the Miami Dolphins, as the game went into overtime and ended up falling to a field goal. The Commanders had a chance to win the game late in regulation, but Matt Gay missed a 56-yard field goal with 15 seconds left. After the game, no one was harder on themselves than Gay who talked about the loss and put the blame on himself.
“It doesn’t matter; the ball didn’t go through. I let my team down today,” Gay said, via JP Finlay of NBCS.
Gay was then asked about the environment during the game, and while he had good things to say about it, he still didn’t feel good about the result.
The environment was great. It was a dream to come to this stadium and play here,” Gay said. “Obviously things took a turn for the worse and ended up pretty negative. I feel pretty bad, pretty upset about it. I let the team down at the end of the day. Not just 1, but 2 shots today. The game changes if I make those shots. It’s just bullshit.”
The Commanders are now 3-8, and their disappointing season continues. A lot of different things have happened to the team this year, the biggest thing being injuries. Jaden Daniels has barely played this season after three different injuries throughout the year, while Terry McLaurin was also barely on the field.
Coach Dan Quinn took over the defensive play calling this week, and while they were able to hold the Dolphins to 16 points, it still wasn’t enough to win. Marcus Mariota played well all game to keep the team in it, but he threw a key interception in overtime, giving the Dolphins the ball, and they ended up kicking the game-winning field goal.
