The Washington Commanders kept their season alive with a win on Thursday Night Football against the New York Giants.
With under two minutes left in the game, Washington was down 21-17 and needed a touchdown. They started out with decent field position after New York had a 14-yard punt, giving the Commanders the ball at their 29-yard line. A 33-yard pass interference penalty put Washington in Giants’ territory and on third down, quarterback Jayden Daniels connected with Stefon Diggs for the 32-yard touchdown.
Here is a look at Daniels’ touchdown pass to Diggs, courtesy of the Washington Commanders’ official social media:
Because of how quickly Washington scored, the Giants got the ball back with all three timeouts and 48 seconds after the kickoff, which they almost fumbled away. With a score of 24-21, New York just needed a field goal to force overtime. But the Commanders was not going to let this matchup go to overtime this time. On third and 10 from Washington’s 48-yard line, Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy took a shot downfield to their top receiver, Malik Nabers, and Commanders safety Rasul Douglas got the interception to seal the victory.
