Commanders Stun Giants Late
Washington pulled off a late 24-21 win against the New York Giants on Thursday night in East Rutherford. The victory improved Washington to 3-5-1 while the Giants fell to 5-3-1. Washington now trails New York by two games in the NFC East and holds the tiebreaker.
Head coach Dan Quinn needed this result. Washington entered the matchup with a 7-17-1 record since the start of last season. A loss would have put their division hopes out of reach. Instead, Washington scored a touchdown on their final drive to win a close game for the first time this season.
Daniels Delivers Under Pressure
Quarterback Jayden Daniels threw his first two interceptions of the season during the fourth quarter. He stayed focused and led a 71 yard touchdown drive in just 49 seconds. That drive ended with a 32 yard touchdown pass to receiver Stefon Diggs.
Tight end Ben Sinnott had a strong performance for Washington. The 2024 second round pick entered the night with only one catch on the year. He finished with four catches for 42 yards and a touchdown. Defensive back Rasul Douglas sealed the win with an interception on the final Giants drive.
Giants Fall Short Despite Strong Effort
New York quarterback J.J. McCarthy threw for a career high 293 yards and one touchdown. He completed 23 of 36 passes and added 34 rushing yards. McCarthy hit tight end Isaiah Likely for a 66 yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to give New York the lead. However, his late interception with 25 seconds remaining ended their comeback chances.
Running back Cam Skattebo scored two rushing touchdowns for the Giants. That included a one yard touchdown run that capped off a 16 play drive in the first half. Safety Ar'Darius Washington also stood out with a late interception and key defensive stops.
Looking Ahead in the NFC East
Washington next faces the Cincinnati Bengals on November 23. The Giants will try to recover when they host the Jacksonville Jaguars on November 22. The NFC East title race also stays open for the Dallas Cowboys, who play San Francisco on Sunday.
