Two streaks stayed alive on “Sunday Night Football” — and they came down to the final snap.

The Denver Broncos won their ninth straight game and sent Washington to a seventh consecutive loss after a 27-26 decision that required overtime, a touchdown on fourth down that kept the Commanders alive and a dramatic two-point conversion attempt that saw their upset bid batted away.

With both arms stretched over his helmet, Denver defensive star Nik Bonitto blitzed Washington quarterback Marcus Mariota and deflected his pass on the two-point conversion with 2:47 left in overtime to end the game.
