Washington Commanders should have won an NFC East game Sunday in Landover.

Here are some quick facts and numbers from the Commanders’ 27-27 tie with the New York Giants in Week 5, 2026.

If that last Commanders offensive play was a called pass, that is ALL on Jayden Daniels. It let time run out, costing the Commanders a win. This tie feels like a loss.
Both Washington Commanders coordinators really disappointed on Sunday.

Commanders safety Jeremy Reaves had an interception thrown right to him deep in New York Giants territory in overtime. Game over, Commanders win. But he didn’t catch it, and the Commanders didn't get an easy score to win the game.
Then NYG running back Cam Skattebo coughed up the ball, giving the Commanders hope as the Giants prepared to kick the game-winning field goal. Daron Payne forced the fumble and Shy Tuttle recovered.
Giants kicker Dominique Zvada missed three field goals, including a 46-yard attempt in overtime. How many breaks do Commanders need to win?
The Commanders’ defense allowed two long fourth-quarter touchdown drives as Washington blew a 27-13 lead in the final quarter.
The Commanders’ defense held the Giants to 77 first-half yards, but couldn’t stop anything in the second half. The Giants’ Jameis Winston passed for 326 yards, and the team rushed for 103. Defense again collapsed in the second half, as it did against the Seahawks and Colts.
Jayden Daniels completed 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards and threw no interceptions. However, he was sacked five times. He led the Commanders with 103 rushing yards on nine carries, including two touchdown runs.
The Commanders’ longest run entering the game was 35 yards by QB Marcus Mariota. Then Jayden Daniels ran for a 38-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt also ran for an impressive 33-yard touchdown.
The Commanders entered the game listing eight players as out vs. the Giants.
