Updated Dec. 17, 2023 11:02 p.m. ET

Bettors who wagered on the total to go over in the Washington Commanders at Los Angeles Rams game were left, well, kicking themselves on Sunday.

The Rams beat the Commanders 28-20.

The Over/Under for the NFL contest was 48.5, and a blocked extra point with 106 seconds remaining caused Over bettors to rip up their tickets.

Welp!

Over bettors were not feeling great at halftime, as Los Angeles led 13-0.

Those same bettors were back in it as the teams combined for 21 points in a span of less than 11.5 minutes in the fourth quarter.

But then it happened.

Washington's Curtis Samuel caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Jacoby Brissett with 1:46 remaining to make it 28-20.

But on the extra point, the Commanders failed to block Rams cornerback Cobie Durant, who raced around the line to block Joey Slye's kick.

Slye was 24-for-26 (92.3%) on extra points this season prior to the block.

Over bettors weren't the only ones bummed by the defeat. The Commanders let down their fans as they were eliminated from playoff contention.
