Commanders Aim to Sweep Giants, Seek First Win Since 2021

Associated Press  

The Washington Commanders will look to improve to 7-2 after a thrilling Hail Mary win against the New York Giants. Despite Daniel's sore ribs, the Commanders gained 425 yards and held the ball for over 37 minutes. The Giants, on the other hand, were held scoreless for most of the game and were unable to score a touchdown despite having multiple scoring opportunities. The key matchup will be between QB Daniel Daniels and CB Deonte Banks. The Giants have lost three straight games at home and have not scored a first-half touchdown in any of those games. The Commanders are looking to make a statement in this game and improve their record to 4-0 at home.
