NBC Sports • • general

Key Points:

  • With 3:27 left, the Giants lined up on fourth-and-1 from their own 11 but took a delay of game penalty after backup QB Jameis Winston's humorous cadence, leading to a punt.
  • The Commanders won 24-21 on Stefon Diggs' 32-yard touchdown with 57 seconds remaining, improving to 3-5-1 while the Giants fell to 5-3-1.
  • The second half saw four lead changes, with the Giants taking a 21-17 lead on Isaiah Likely's 66-yard catch-and-run, but the Commanders capitalized on key turnovers and a controversial pass interference call to drive 71 yards for the winning score.
  • Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy threw for 293 yards with one touchdown and one interception, while Commanders QB Jayden Daniels had 249 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions; both teams featured strong individual performances including Likely's 127 receiving yards and Cam Skattebo's two rushing touchdowns.
  • Despite outgaining Washington 399 to 340 yards, the Giants' missed field goal and two turnovers proved costly, with the final interception by Rasul Douglas sealing the victory for the Commanders.
