In a close matchup, the Washington Commanders triumphed over the New York Giants 21-18, largely due to kicker Austin Seibert's impressive performance with seven field goals.
The Giants faced a kicker dilemma as starter Graham Gano went down with a hamstring injury after the opening kickoff, leaving them without a kicker. They attempted to manage without a traditional kicker, opting for punter Jamie Gillan on an extra point, which he missed.
Head coach Brian Daboll acknowledged the injury predicament, noting that Gano is expected to miss a few weeks. The team has begun evaluating new kickers while facing a tight schedule ahead.
