Chris Blewitt, the kicker it signed off the street to replace Dustin Hopkins, bounced a 45-yard field goal attempt off the shoulder of a Broncos player and had a second try blocked. The latter attempt, from 47 yards, would have given Washington a 13-10 lead with less than nine minutes left. Instead, Denver’s Melvin Gordon III got into the end zone for his second touchdown of the day on the subsequent drive, this time on the ground from seven yards to put Denver ahead 17-10.
