By The New York Giants hosted the Washington Commanders in a divisional Thursday Night Football matchup at MetLife Stadium. Both teams entered on short rest for a critical contest. Despite questionable weather throughout the day, the atmosphere was electric for the Giants’ whiteout.
The Giants struggled in the first half and headed into the locker room trailing 10-7. After the Commanders scored to take a 17-14 lead late in the third quarter, the Giants regained the advantage with a 66-yard touchdown by Isaiah Likely midway through the fourth. They then forced back-to-back interceptions from Jayden Daniels, courtesy of Jevon Holland and Ar’Darius Washington.
Washington regained possession down 21-17 with less than two minutes remaining and took a three-point lead with under a minute to go. The Giants drove into Washington territory on their potential game-winning drive, but it ended with a J.J. McCarthy interception.
Cam Skattebo scored two touchdowns in the contest. Dominic Zvada missed another field goal, and those three points proved crucial down the stretch.
With the loss, the Giants fell to 5-3-1 on the season. Here’s how X reacted.
Giants did it to themselves. Couldn’t make a yard. Bad punt. Wide open Diggs.

I don't understand the last two plays for the #Giants. Two timeouts. Plenty of time. You only need three. You're just launching passes up like that?
Run your offense?

Giants being way too conservative on those two last drives is what kilt us; also Zvada has too go.

But the Giants are still in a great position.
3 more wins secures the NFC East.

This game pisses me off so bad. Squandered it

Major blown opportunity for the Giants. They still have a cushion, but that loss cut into it. Now two games up on the Commanders, who hold the tiebreaker. Giants have a tough stretch upcoming. Going to find out what they’re made of.

Tough loss to swallow

Absolutely brutal loss.
Special teams was about as bad as it could be
Zvada misses a 33 yard FG
Kicks the ball out of bounds
Stout has his worst punt of the year
Fumble the kickoff
Charlie Jones has no confidenceBRUTAL. Should have won but didn't.

That's honestly a bad loss. Had multiple chances to close the game out and just couldn't. #BigBlue

Haven't been this mad about a Giants loss in probably a decade… Had a chance to take a stranglehold of this division and pissed it away. Brutal.
