Magic Johnson, a co-owner of the Washington Commanders, posts that he is “in total disbelief” after the team mismanages the clock in the final sequence of an overtime game against the New York Giants. Multiple outlets report his reaction after Washington’s late-game decisions prevent what would have been a key win.
According to coverage, the Commanders and Giants remain tightly matched for much of the afternoon, with both teams trading scoring and reaching 27 points before overtime. The focus of the reporting then shifts to Washington’s end-of-game execution and clock handling, described as a “botch” and a “clock flub” by different outlets. Yahoo Sports adds that the mistake is severe enough that Johnson’s public reaction stands out even in a context where fans and observers are already evaluating the team’s late-game performance.
While the outlets vary in phrasing—ranging from “stunning end-of-game” to “meltdown”—they converge on Johnson’s public criticism and the central issue: the Commanders’ clock management in the overtime-ending moments.
