The New York Giants entered their Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders in hopes of snapping their three-game losing streak. Instead, they fell behind by 14 by the half and although the Giants fought back a few times to make it a one-possession game, the Commanders had control of the game throughout, winning 27-22.
The defense struggled to slow down the Washington offense, forcing just two punts on the day, and continued to have trouble stopping the run.
Daniel Jones had a good day passing for two touchdowns and adding an impressive rushing touchdown as well. However, he did have a turnover that led to a Washington touchdown in the first half.
The loss drops the Giants to 2-7 on the season with eight games remaining.
Jayden Daniels didn’t need to throw a Hail Mary on the final play — or do anything spectacular, really, to lead his Washington Commanders past the bumbling New York Giants.
The sensational rookie made plays with his arm and legs and got a solid supporting effort from his defense as the Commanders again showed the rest of the NFL they’re for real. Washington moved to 7-2 for the first time since 1996.
