Skip Bayless’ ‘all over’ verdict on Jayden Daniels and Commanders falls flat after stunning comeback win

One of Skip Bayless’ tweets during Thursday night’s game between the New York Giants and the Washington Commanders did not age well.

The Giants looked set to secure a win in the first game of this week’s NFL action but let their lead go with less than a minute to play.

The Commanders erased a three-point deficit with 57 seconds to play to earn a 24-21 win, leaving the NFC East wide open.

However, this came after Bayless had tweeted that the division was ‘all but over’.

Commenting on the game, he expressed his disappointment towards Jayden Daniels and said that the ‘Giants rise to 6-2-1’.

He wrote: “Just when I needed Jayden Daniels to be JAYDEN DANIELS, he throws his first two interceptions of the year on back-to-back late drives. Giants rise to 6-2-1. NFC East all but over.

That, of course, did not happen, and Bayless’ Dallas Cowboys are still in the race to top the division.

The Giants are top with a 5-3-1 record, while his Cowboys are in second place with a record of 4-5.

Washington then take third place (3-5) for the time being, with the Philadelphia Eagles 2-7.

Dallas now have the chance to capitalise on the Giants’ late slip-up later this week but it will not be easy.

They are set to play host to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The 49ers are in great form and alongside the Buffalo Bills, are one of just two teams left in the NFL who have only fallen to defeat on one occasion this term (7-1).
