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.
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.
