In his NFL career so far, Daniels has defeated the Giants every time he has faced him although this is his first rushing touchdown against New York. Especially with the weather at this game, the touchdown could ultimately seal the win for Washington. The Giants responded with a touchdown to cut
the lead to six points, 19-13.
