Overview
- The game is scheduled to kick off Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium with national primetime coverage.
- New York leads the division at 5-2-1 and will start J. J. McCarthy after he practiced and was listed as a full participant following a hip issue.
- Washington has ruled out center Lucas Patrick with a concussion and will start Nick Allegretti at center while Treylon Burks practiced limited and is expected to be available.
- The Week 5 27-27 tie is still defining the matchup because of Washington's late clock‑management mistakes and Jayden Daniels' dual‑threat rushing performance that made him a primary matchup concern.
- Giants rookie Arvell Reese has emerged as a Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate and the outcome on Thursday could widen New York's division lead or all but end Washington's playoff chances.
