The Washington Commanders are fighting back against the Seattle Seahawks.

In the team's first possession of the fourth quarter, Washington needed a touchdown and found one in the form of a Sam Howell pass to running back Antonio Gibson.

Here's a look at the play ...

The play capped off an 8-play, 73-yard drive that began after the Seahawks kicked a field goal to take a seven-point lead.

Gibson entered the league in 2020 with expectations that he'd do more than play running back and be just as effective in the passing game. The do-it-all running back set a career-high with 353 receiving yards and ran for 546 yards in 2022.

With offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy as the new play caller this season, Gibson has seen more action as a receiver, and it's clearly benefitted the Commanders offense.

"Hopefully, this year, it comes around to where I can showcase on multiple occasions what I can do out there," Gibson said back in training camp. "I love being out there. I have fun out there, and once I get the ball in open space, I'm really that guy."

Gibson's touchdown marks his first since Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons and just the second of the year for the fourth-year pro.

With the score, the Commanders are back in it against the Seahawks and will have to hold the Seahawks from scoring as the game enters the final minutes.

The two teams are tied 19-19 with eight minutes to go in the game.
