Jayden Daniels and Commanders Settle for 27-27 Tie with Giants After Botching Final Play of OT
Washington failed to stop the clock and missed a game-winning field goal chance after a late turnover gave it another possession.
- Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels returned from a left elbow injury on Sunday, playing with a protective brace in a 27-27 overtime tie against the New York Giants at Northwest Stadium.
- Daniels had missed two games after dislocating his left elbow for the second time in 11 months. He completed 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards and rushed for 103 yards, building a 27-13 fourth-quarter lead before New York rallied.
- ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that doctors around the NFL believe re-injury is a matter of "when, not if," with medical specialists noting Daniels has dislocated his left elbow twice over the past 11 months despite team clearance.
- With 12 seconds remaining at the Giants' 24-yard line, Daniels scrambled for no gain instead of spiking the ball, leaving kicker Drew Stevens on the sideline as time expired without a field goal attempt.
- Commanders head coach Dan Quinn accepted responsibility for the final sequence, saying "Leaving tonight with a tie feels like a loss." The tie leaves Washington at 1-3-1, trailing the 3-1-1 Giants in the NFC East.
