Commanders Wire goes Behind Enemy Lines: Previewing the New York Giants

The Washington Commanders look to reenter the NFC East race on Thursday night as they travel to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to face the surprising, division-leading New York Giants. 

It’s a rematch from Week 5 that most Washington fans would like to forget. Holding a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, the Commanders appeared to have the game in the bag when cornerback Amik Robertson intercepted Jameis Winston. However, it was ruled a penalty, and the Giants got another chance. They scored on the next play. New York would score again, and the game went into overtime. Just as it appeared the Giants were about to kick the game-winning field goal, running back Cam Skattebo fumbled. Washington recovered. 

Jayden Daniels had the Commanders headed toward a potential game-winning field goal when, inexplicably, Washington called another play and instead of throwing it away, Daniels was tackled and time ran out. 

Since then, the Commanders have had chances to win in the fourth quarter against the 49ers and Rams, but mistakes cost them. They beat the Eagles, but everyone else has beaten them this season. 

So what can we expect in the rematch? We spoke to Giants Wire managing editor Dan Benton, who gave us the lowdown on all things Giants.
