Qxd6 was a brilliant move, gaining a B and R. White doesn't have many options.

2. Rxd6 cxd2
3. Rxd2 Rxd2

2. Rxd6 cxd2
3. Rxd8 dxc1=Q+

2. Qxc3 Qxd5
3. Qc2 Rc8

That makes sense. What about 2. Qd4

You'd still be down two pieces, I think.

2. Qd4 Qxd5
3. Qxd5 Rxd5

Worse is 2. Qd4 Qxd5
3. Qxc3 Rc8

The tactic's solution leaves black at +5, where Qd4 is +6. I guess that is white's best move.
