A late second quarter touchdown drive that was sparked by a long reception by veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs was capped off by tight end Ben Sinnott’s first touchdown of the season to send the Commanders into the half with a three-point lead. The two sides would trade touchdowns in the third quarter before the wheels appeared to fall off for Washington, with their first three possessions of the final frame going turnover on downs, interception, and interception, allowing the Giants to nurse a four-point lead inside the two-minute warning. Daniels drove the field in 49 seconds on just three plays, connecting with Diggs for a 32-yard touchdown with under a minute remaining. The Commanders would escape on the backs of a Rasul Douglas interception to send the team to a 3-5-1 record, now two games back of the Giants and with the first tie-breaker in hand following the previous tie. Daniels will look to keep the momentum going in a Week 11 meeting with the surging Bengals, where he will be an upside QB1 in another must-win game.
