The NFL is rarely home to a draw but Washington and Cincinnati played out the second in as many weeks in a thrilling contest at Londons Wembley Stadium, finishing 27-27 after overtime. For the first time since 1997, the NFL saw drawn games in back-to-back weeks and it is Washington who will feel the most hard done by having seen Kirk Cousins throw for a career best 458 yards, and most importantly miss a crucial 34-yard field goal.Dustin Hopkins was the man to miss in the final minutes of overtime, a crucial time out called by the Bengals as Hopkins was just about to kick. That effort sailed over but when he returned for when it mattered he pulled his effort wide of the upright. Seattle and Arizona played out a 6-6 all draw that had defences on top last week but it was offence to the fore as Wembley and London played host to its final game of the 2016 season.

The Redskins quarterback started the season slowly but with an array of offensive weapons he has found top form in recent weeks and, with 458 yards, surpassed the previous best of his career (427). Kirk Cousins dominated the first half but the Redskins couldnt make their chances count Game-changer - Rather than Hopkins miss, lets give Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis the credit for icing the Redskins kicker.

Redskins took the lead in London through Rob Kelleys touchdown With little in the way of possession the Bengals responded on their very first drive, Alex Erickson returning the kick-off from Washingtons TD for 65-yards, the most ever in a London game, to set up Andy Dalton in the Redskins half.The play ended with Giovani Bernard running in from a yard to level the scores.More dominance from Washington went unrewarded as a Hopkins field goal was the best they could manage, before the teams traded missed 3-point efforts from long range.The Bengals offence woke up in the second period as AJ Green began to get into the game and show why he is the leading receiver in the game but it was the combination of Dalton and tight end Tyler Eifert which combined early in the third quarter to give Cincinnati the lead. Tyler Eifert caught his first touchdown of the season as the Bengals dominated the 3rd quarter And when Dalton rushed over himself from just a yard out on the Bengals next position it was the designated home team who had daylight for the first time with a 20-10 lead.Back came Washington through the returning Jordan Reed, who got on the end of Cousins 23-yard throw to dive for the end zone and bring Jay Grudens team to within a score. Jordan Reed dives over to score a Redskins touchdown The fourth quarter began with what looked like being the crucial play, Dalton intercepted for the first time in five games, Will Compton doing the damage which set up a Cousins drive that ended with Jamison Crowder in the endzone to give the Redskins a 24-20 lead.The see-saw nature of the contest continued with Jeremy Hill running in from a yard to put the Bengals back in front before Hopkins held his nerve from 40 yards to level the scores.With the game in overtime both teams saw chances go begging, first Cincinnati made their way into field goal range before the Redskins defence came up with their biggest play of the game.Sacking Dalton and forcing the Bengals to punt on fourth down wasnt to be the last of the drama as Hopkins missed his chance to be the hero late in the day.There was still time for the Redskins to force one final turnover but with the seconds ticking away, Cousins attempted Hail Mary drifted out of play and the game ended all square. The Washington Redskins and the Cincinnati Bengals tied 27-27 in the 3rd International Series game at Wembley.
