Commanders Run Out of Time, Settle for 27-27 Tie With Giants

Quinn accepted blame for the overtime clock mismanagement that turned a late Cam Skattebo fumble into a missed game-winning chance for Washington.

Overview

  • The game ended 27-27 after Washington failed to stop the clock in overtime when Jayden Daniels was tackled in bounds with no timeouts left, leaving the team unable to spike the ball or attempt a field goal.
  • The extra period opened after Jameis Winston rallied the Giants from a 27-13 deficit in the fourth quarter and finished with 326 passing yards and three touchdowns.
  • New York had a chance to win in overtime but missed a 46-yard field goal, then Cam Skattebo fumbled near the goal line and Washington recovered to gain a final opportunity.
  • Dan Quinn publicly took responsibility for the final sequence and Jayden Daniels also said the mistake was on him, a pair of admissions that intensified scrutiny of Washington’s situational coaching.
  • The tie leaves the Commanders 1-3-1 and the Giants 3-1-1, and puts Washington under pressure to correct clock management before a Week 6 road game at the San Francisco 49ers.
