METLIFE STADIUM (East Rutherford, N.J.) — The New York Giants haven’t won the NFC East in 15 years, and they had a golden opportunity to take a big step towards ending that drought on Thursday night.
But then they blew it.
Despite leading the game with less than two minutes to go, they fell apart in crunch time as Jayden Daniels led the Washington Commanders on a late touchdown drive to pull out a dramatic 24-21 victory. They got the game-winning score on a laser pass through traffic from Daniels to Stefon Diggs that became a 32-yard touchdown with 57 seconds remaining.
The Giants had one last chance to pull it out, but J.J. McCarthy’s final pass on a solid night was intercepted.
And just like that, the NFC East looks like it might be a race again. The Giants fell to 5-3-1 on the season, closing the gap between them and the second-place Dallas Cowboys (4-5). And the Commanders, at 3-5-1, now hold the tie-breaker advantage over the Giants and are still in the thick of the race.
Here are my takeaways from the game that tightened this division up:
