The score may have been different, but this game was pretty similar to the one that was played between Washington and the New York Giants met in Week 6 of the season. Then, the Giants controlled much of the game, and a late comeback attempt from Washington was thwarted by a missed two-point conversion that left the final 20-19, NYG.
This time around, Washington fell behind big early, trailing 20-3 at the half. Credit to the Burgundy & Gold, they mounted a comeback in the second half and eventually made it a 23-20 game in the final frame, but back-to-back interceptions from Alex Smith sealed the deal and let the Giants complete their season-sweep over Washington.
There were a few bright spots, but for the most part, it was a frustrating game, to say the least. Here are our biggest takeaways from the action.
