Commanders let clock run out, tie Giants 27-27

The Washington Commanders and New York Giants left Sunday’s game in a 27-27 tie after a series of questionable decisions and late-game miscues. The Commanders, who had built a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, squandered it with two punted drives and a missed field goal attempt by Dominic Zvada, who had already missed two earlier in the game.

Jameis Winston’s late resurgence—including touchdown passes to Isaiah Likely and Malik Nabers—fueled the Giants’ comeback, while Jayden Daniels, who had been stellar with 103 rushing yards and two touchdown runs, sealed the tie with a botched final play. Instead of spiking the ball to stop the clock, Daniels took a snap in the final minute and was tackled for no gain, allowing time to expire before the Commanders could attempt a game-winning field goal.

The Giants, meanwhile, had a chance to win in overtime after John Harbaugh declined to take a knee, but Cam Skattebo fumbled the handoff, giving Washington the ball back with a chance to tie or win. Both teams now face criticism for their late-game execution, with the Commanders dropping to 1-3-1 and the Giants ending a two-game winning streak at 3-1-1.
