Washington's Taylor Heinicke hits Ricky Seals-Jones for a 39-yard touchdown against Chiefs

LANDOVER, Md. -- The Washington Football Team figured out a way to score a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. The solution: Just wait until they can take advantage of a blown coverage.

That's what happened late in the second quarter when quarterback Taylor Heinicke connected with tight end Ricky Seals-Jones for a 39-yard touchdown -- and a 13-10 Washington lead.

Seals-Jones went in motion and positioned himself next to the left tackle. Heinicke faked a handoff that slowed the linebackers and then looked at receiver Dyami Brown in the left flat. Multiple Chiefs defenders focused on Brown as a result, allowing Seals-Jones to sneak behind them to get wide open, catching the ball just inside the Chief's 20-yard line and running in for Washington's first touchdown of the day. Heinicke completed 14 of 25 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown in the opening half.

Seals-Jones, subbing in for the injured Logan Thomas (on injured reserve with a hamstring injury) caught three passes for 44 yards in the first half.
