Brown convinced the Washington Commanders cornerback to bite on a route that freed up the star wide receiver down the field. The rookie’s problems on Sunday underscore just how thin the margin of error will be for Washington this season. The Commanders drafted Forbes with the 16th overall pick in hopes that his ability to produce turnovers could add a different element to their defense. Still, Rivera said he expects Forbes to bounce back — the same way that Howell did against the Eagles. After Brown’s second touchdown, the Eagles wide receiver dropped the ball right in Forbes’ lap as he went over to celebrate with his teammates.
