Overview
- Washington rallied to beat the Giants 24-21 Thursday night when Jayden Daniels threw a 32-yard touchdown to Stefon Diggs with 57 seconds remaining, and Daniels finished 23-of-33 for 249 yards, three TDs and two interceptions.
- New York’s defense forced two fourth-quarter interceptions but the Giants’ offense went three-and-out twice late, including a stopped Jameis Winston QB sneak that led to a delay-of-game and a punt that returned possession to Washington.
- Special teams errors proved costly for the Giants as rookie kicker Dominic Zvada missed a 33-yard field goal and punter Jordan Stout shanked a 12-yard punt that gave Washington the field position used on the game-winning drive.
- Jameis Winston drew viral attention when he used the lyrics from 'Who Let the Dogs Out' as a hard count on a fourth-and-1 attempt, a tactic John Harbaugh said was intentional and later defended alongside his fourth-down choices.
- The win moves Washington to 3-5-1 while New York falls to 5-3-1, gives the Commanders the head-to-head tiebreaker in the NFC East, and leaves the Giants facing tougher upcoming opponents and questions about late-game decision-making.
