EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants will try to solidify their NFC East lead Thursday against the Washington Commanders in miserable wet, chilly conditions at MetLife Stadium.
The Giants and Commanders tied 27-27 in Week 5. New York is 5-2-1, looking to extend their lead in the division. The 2-5-1 Commanders are looking for a victory that gives them hope entering the second half of the season.
A key for the Giants will be controlling the running of Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels, who
scrambled for 38- and 26-yard touchdowns in Week 5.
The heaviest of the rain is expected to be over before the 8:15 p.m. kickoff. Still, the windy, wet, chilly conditions could be tough to navigate.
Running back Cam Skattebo will be back in the lineup for the Giants after missing Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a hamstring injury. J.J. McCarthy will be making his first start at MetLife Stadium as Giants quarterback.
