Commanders Snap Eight-Game Skid With 29-21 Win Over Giants

Young playmakers delivered decisive moments that offset late giveaways, offering a rare bright spot in a season now defined by evaluation.

Overview

  • Washington completed a season sweep to move to 4-10, while New York fell to 2-12 with its eighth straight loss.
  • Starting for the injured Jayden Daniels, Marcus Mariota went 10-of-19 for 211 yards and a touchdown and lost a fumble.
  • Rookie Jaylin Lane’s 63-yard punt-return touchdown was his second of the season, tying the franchise’s single-season mark last matched in 1994.
  • Jacory Croskey-Merritt ran for 96 yards and a 16-yard score, becoming Washington’s first rookie back since 2020 to reach five rushing touchdowns.
  • Terry McLaurin’s 51-yard touchdown and Mike Sainristil’s interception that set up a Jake Moody field goal proved pivotal, and the defense closed it out after late fumbles gave the Giants a final chance.
