The Washington Commanders showed some resiliency on Thursday Night Football, overcoming Jayden Daniels’ first two interceptions of the season in the fourth quarter to come back and defeat the New York Giants 24-21.
Daniels played well and was looking to tight end Chig Okonkwo for a score, but Giants safety Jevon Holland picked him off. A good play by Holland. Washington’s defense did its job, giving the ball back to Daniels and the offense. On fourth-and-1 near midfield, Daniels inexplicably throws another interception, seemingly ending the game. Fortunately, the Commanders had all their timeouts remaining and the two-minute warning. After a huge Sonny Styles stop on third down, the defense again got the ball back.
Daniels made them pay this time,
leading the game-winning drive and finding Stefon Diggs for a 32-yard touchdown. Still, the Giants had 57 seconds remaining. After a big first-down play to get the ball around the 50-yard line, Washington defensive coordinator Daronte Jones had seen enough. He came after New York quarterback JJ McCarthy on three straight plays, and on the final play, cornerback Rasul Douglas intercepted him to end the game.
Washington wins and improves to 3-5-1.
It was another up-and-down night on X — formerly Twitter — for Washington fans. At times, it looked like another painful, heartbreaking loss. But this time, Daniels responded, leading his team to a huge, season-saving (at least for now) win.
Here are some of the best reactions.
Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles each had 13 tkls tonight.

Maybe the start of something? For now, not the end. Good win. Great drive. On to Cincinnati.

Incredible job by John Harbaugh figuring out how to get out coached by Dan Quinn.

Chig & 5 Have no chemistry😤

Honestly think this ending shows a lot about Dan Quinn. This team has never shown any let-up, even with the injuries and mistakes. Locker room never seemed to have any fissures. Huge win for this team.

Thoughts on tonight’s win @ New York:
— Eric Sully (@CommandersRealm) November 13, 2026
• Lots to unpack. Jayden played decent until his back to back awful picks. His first two of the year. Not too worried about it.
• Overall still too messy on offense. Penalties, getting out of the huddle late, still can’t run the ball.…
Daronte Jones. That is all.

Washington is two games out of first place in a bad NFC East with eight games left in the regular season.
— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) November 13, 2026
Dan Quinn has kept the team together.
The defense has gotten better.
If the offense can get its act together...
If Laremy Tunsil is back in December...
the season is on.
ON THE ROAD!!!!! SHORT WEEK!!!!!!!! JAYDEN DOES IT!!!!!!!!!!!
