Commanders Snap Eight-Game Losing Streak with 29-21 Win Over Giants
Full Transcript
The Washington Commanders snapped their eight-game losing streak with a 29-21 victory over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Key performances came from wide receiver Jaylin Lane, who returned a punt for a 63-yard touchdown, and Terry McLaurin, who caught a 51-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Marcus Mariota.
Despite being outgained 384 to 340 in total yards, the Commanders managed to hold off the Giants, who suffered their own eighth consecutive loss. The game featured pivotal moments such as a turnover by Mariota leading to a Giants touchdown, but ultimately, New York's inability to capitalize on opportunities, including two missed field goals by Younghoe Koo, sealed their defeat.
The Commanders, now 4-10, are looking to build on this win as they aim for a resurgence in the remainder of the season, while the Giants, at 2-12, continue to struggle, remaining in contention for the top draft pick in 2026.
