There’s just something about a primetime, under-the-lights game in one’s home stadium that often encourages their best. Nov. 30, 2025’s schedule put Washington head-to-head against the NFL’s third-ranked defense, but they certainly didn’t appear to be nervous about it; under Marcus Mariota’s guidance, they opened the second half with a poised 18-yard strike to Zach Ertz. Mariota also offered moves on his own, turning the clock back on a 19-yard read-option scramble. What followed is what some have deemed the 2025 season’s “Catch of the Year,” as Treylon Burks used every bit of his 6-foot-2 frame and athleticism on an acrobatic, sensational one-handed touchdown grab. The Denver Broncos took a 27-26 overtime thriller, though, Week 13’s Sunday nightcap proved memorable and exciting nonetheless for the Commanders.
