Commanders’ fourth-down gambles backfired Monday night, and the Chiefs made theirs count. The Commanders failed on both tries — Marcus Mariota threw incomplete on one, then gained five yards on fourth-and-6 — while the Chiefs converted twice, with Patrick Mahomes throwing a touchdown and Kareem Hunt rushing for a first down. After the 28-7 defeat, head coach Dan Quinn lamented missed chances, including not capitalizing on turnovers and fourth downs. Chiefs coach Andy Reid called the four fourth-down snaps among the game’s biggest.
