Allen benched for pass play at goal line; clock mismanagement factor.

Allen was not used in a critical goal-line situation in the final seconds of the first half; instead of using Allen to pound the ball into the end zone from the 1-yard line, the Commanders opted to have Jayden Daniels pass, a decision stemming from poor clock management by head coach Dan Quinn.
