Overview
- The Commanders rallied in the final minute when Jayden Daniels hit Stefon Diggs on a 32-yard touchdown with 57 seconds left to take a 24-21 lead on Thursday night.
- New York tried to draw Washington offsides on a fourth-and-1 by bringing Jameis Winston under center and using an audible hard count that included the lyric 'Who Let the Dogs Out,' but the Giants accepted a delay-of-game and were forced to punt from deep field position.
- Daniels finished 23-of-33 for 249 yards with three touchdowns and two late interceptions, while J.J. McCarthy threw for a career-high 293 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
- Washington's defense repeatedly gave the offense another chance late and Rasul Douglas intercepted McCarthy in the final minute to end the game.
- The win improved Washington to 3-5-1, dropped New York to 5-3-1, gave the Commanders the head-to-head tiebreaker, and leaves both teams' NFC East paths altered as Washington prepares to face the Bengals next.
