Commanders-Giants tie: Washington delivers disastrous end-of-game sequence following Cam Skattebo fumble

The Washington Commanders and New York Giants concluded their high-stakes matchup with the NFL’s first tie of the season, finishing at 27-27 after a chaotic overtime collapse by Washington. The Commanders, leading 27-13 with under eight minutes left in regulation, saw the Giants force overtime after Jameis Winston’s two touchdown drives.

New York took the opening possession of overtime but settled for a missed 46-yard field goal attempt by Dominic Zvada. On their next drive, the Giants advanced deep into Commanders territory but fumbled the ball at the 24-yard line after Sonny Styles’ botched handoff to Cam Skattebo—an error that unexpectedly shifted momentum.

With eight seconds remaining in overtime, Jayden Daniels’ apparent pass play broke down when he went down without throwing, leaving Washington unable to spike the ball in time. The Commanders, with no timeouts remaining, had no excuse for letting the clock run unnecessarily earlier in the drive, a critical mistake that handed the Giants a second chance.

Dan Quinn’s team, which could have won with a Drew Stevens field goal from 41 yards, instead watched the clock expire in a stunning meltdown that left fans and players stunned.
