In a thrilling 27-22 victory over the New York Giants, Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels showcased his talent with a back-shoulder touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin. Despite the praise from teammates and fans, Daniels felt he could have executed the throw better.

With the win, the Commanders improved to 7-2, their best start since 1996, and currently lead the NFC East. However, the game highlighted defensive weaknesses as the Giants mounted a comeback in the second half. The team aims to build on this success as they prepare for upcoming divisional matchups.
