The Washington Commanders fell to 3-4 on the season Sunday after a 14-7 loss to the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
The Giants jumped out to an early 14-0 lead in the first half as Washington failed to do anything on offense. The Commanders had eight first-half possessions; seven ended with punts, and one ended with an interception. Washington managed only 46 total yards in the first half.
The Commanders finally got going in the third quarter when Giants punt returner Sterling Shepard muffed a punt in New York territory. Several plays later, running back Brian Robinson Jr. punched it in from four yards out, and the game was 14-7.
The Commanders were in the red zone two more times in the fourth quarter. One drive ended when a 27-yard field goal from Joey Slye was blocked. On the final possession, on fourth down, quarterback Sam Howell, under heavy pressure, escapes the pocket and finds Jahan Dotson for what would’ve been a first down. Dotson can’t make the catch. Game over.
