The New York Giants face the Washington Commanders this Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium in a game that has postseason implications.
Washington has won five of six since Taylor Heinicke has taken over the reins at quarterback after starter Carson Wentz went on IR with a fractured finger on his throwing hand.
He’s no stranger to the Giants, having beaten them twice last season. Giants safety Julian Love believes the Commanders are indeed a different team with Heinicke at the helm.
