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.
