Monday Night Football in Week 13 is a game between two teams that are likely out of the playoff picture, but that doesn't mean there won't be some excitement!

The Seahawks got off to a 7-3 lead as halftime began to near, but Taylor Heinicke led the Football Team down the field on a drive that resulted in a J.D. McKissic touchdown.

The touchdown gave Washington the 9-7 lead, which means they were an extra point away from holding a 10-7 lead going into halftime. In the worst possible scenario, they miss the extra point and they'll still have a two-point lead.

Right? RIGHT?! Wrong.

The Seahawks pulled off one of the most rare plays in football. They blocked the extra point and returned it to the end zone, which results in a two-point play. It resulted in the game going from 10-7 to a 9-9 tie.

I don't know if it's the last time that it happened in the NFL, but the only time I remember a similar play happening was in 2016 when my Atlanta Falcons lost on a last second pick-two when Eric Berry intercepted Matt Ryan on a two-point conversion attempt and returned it to the house. Yet another memorable way the Falcons have found a way to lose a game.

I digress. The two teams head into the locker room at halftime in a 9-9 draw. The live odds at WynnBET has the Seahawks set as 2.5-point live favorites and Washington set as a +110 underdog on the moneyline.
