Jayden Daniels and Commanders Settle for 27-27 Tie with Giants After Botching Final Play of OT
Jayden Daniels returned from injury and accounted for 2 touchdowns, but Washington’s clock mismanagement cost it a chance at a game-winning field goal.
- On Sunday, October 11, 2026, the Washington Commanders and New York Giants ended in a 27-27 tie after a botched final sequence. With 12 seconds left and no timeouts, quarterback Jayden Daniels ran a play instead of spiking, letting the clock expire before attempting a winning field goal.
- Daniels returned Sunday after missing two games with a dislocated left elbow. Although cleared to play with a protective brace, medical specialists warn that the two-time dislocation survivor faces a high risk of further injury, describing it as a matter of "when, not if."
- Quarterback Jameis Winston threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, helping the Giants overcome a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit. Washington appeared poised for a win late in overtime after Cam Skattebo fumbled at the 24-yard line, but the team failed to capitalize on the turnover.
- Frustration over the poor clock management followed the tie, with head coach Dan Quinn slamming his headset to the ground as time expired. Team owner Magic Johnson posted on social media that he was "in total disbelief" regarding the late-game errors.
- The Giants remain atop the NFC East at 3-1-1, while the Commanders fall to 1-3-1. Washington travels to face the San Francisco 49ers on October 19, 2026, as New York prepares to host the New Orleans Saints next Sunday.
