The Washington Commanders dropped to 4-7 on the season after Sunday’s 31-19 loss to the New York Giants. In his two seasons as Giants head coach, Brian Daboll improved to 3-0-1 vs. Washington.
The story of the game was turnovers. The Commanders turned the ball over six times, and the game, fittingly, ended on quarterback Sam Howell’s third interception of the day.
Washington scored to cut New York’s lead to 24-19. With three timeouts remaining, the defense forced a three-and-out. The Commanders would get the ball back with just under two minutes remaining and one timeout. However, the offense showed a lack of urgency. When they got into Giants’ territory, Howell, trying to throw the ball away under heavy pressure, was intercepted by New York linebacker Isaiah Simmons, who returned it for a touchdown.
Here are the studs and duds from another ugly loss. It’s important to note there weren’t a lot of studs.
