"Leading 29-14 inside six minutes to go in the fourth quarter, the Washington Commanders did everything they could to gift the New York Giants the kind of momentum they had fumbled away all of Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium. Mike Kafka's men simply gave it back to them, as the Giants (2-12) played the role of self-saboteur in their eighth straight loss, 29-21, to their NFC East rivals. They still hold the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft."
"Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota, who has been filling in for injured star Jayden Daniels, was strip-sacked by Giants safety Dane Belton. Defensive end Brian Burns picked up the loose ball and returned it to the Washington 21-yard line, which Jaxson Dart was able to convert to a touchdown with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Wan'Dale Robinson on a 4th-&-5 with 3:43 to go."
The Washington Commanders held a 29-14 lead late in the fourth quarter and prevailed 29-21. Marcus Mariota, filling in for Jayden Daniels, was strip-sacked by Dane Belton; Brian Burns recovered and set up Jaxson Dart's 16-yard touchdown pass to Wan'Dale Robinson on a 4th-&-5 with 3:43 remaining. One minute later Abdul Carter forced and recovered a fumble, but the Giants gained only 13 yards and turned the ball over on downs after consecutive incompletions. New York had cut the deficit to 13-7 late in the first half following Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s 12-yard touchdown.
