In a thrilling match at Northwest Stadium, Jayden Daniels led the Washington Commanders to a narrow 21-18 victory against the New York Giants, marking his first win as an NFL quarterback. Despite not converting any of their six red zone opportunities, the Commanders relied on seven field goals from kicker Austin Seibert, a franchise record, to secure the win.

Daniels completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards and rushed for 44 yards in a gritty performance. The game was notable for the unfortunate injury to Giants kicker Graham Gano, which influenced their game strategy.

Brian Robinson Jr. shone for the Commanders with a career-high 133 rushing yards, while Malik Nabers of the Giants impressed with ten catches for 127 yards, celebrating his first career touchdown. Washington’s Zach Ertz reached a career milestone, becoming one of the top tight ends in NFL history.
