New York Giants, against Commanders
Digest more
So this result goes into the books as a Commanders' victory, 29-21, allows them to sweep the season series and guarantees the Giants a losing record in the division. They are 1-4 against the NFC East and 2-12 overall, having dropped eight games in a row.
Tight end depth was already thin with Zach Ertz going to IR after tearing his ACL last week. John Bates and Ben Sinnott are the next up for a lead role, but Colson Yankoff has been fighting for playing time, while being a core special teams player. He left the game in the 3rd quarter, and was questionable to return.
The most severe conditions are expected on Sunday evening. While skies will clear, temperatures will plunge into the low 20s. The RealFeel temperature is forecast to drop to 7 degrees by 7 p.m. and as low as 4 degrees by 11 p.m.
In a game featuring the two worst teams in the NFC East, the Commanders' special teams unit made the difference.

Head coach Dan Quinn shared his honest thoughts on the Commanders nearly giving away the lead in a 29-21 win vs. the Giants.
Speaking of divisional games, the Giants can aim for a .500 record against their division opponents, something they last accomplished in 2020 (4-2), if they take care of business against Washington today and then Dallas in the regular-season finale at home.
