Austin Seibert, kicker for the Washington Commanders, secured a 21-18 win against the New York Giants with a game-winning field goal, marking the first victory for both him and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Despite struggling offensively with multiple penalties, Seibert consistently excelled, converting a record seven field goals. His performance, praised by teammates, became pivotal following the Giants' loss of their kicker, Graham Gano, early in the game.
This coincidence forced the Giants to change their strategy significantly, culminating in missed scoring opportunities and a failed fourth-down conversion attempt. Seibert’s remarkable day established him as a key player in Commanders' franchise history.
