Giants’ defense came up one interception short of securing a win

The Giants’ defence made two fourth-quarter interceptions that appeared likely to secure a win, but Washington still beat New York 24-21 at MetLife Stadium. Jayden Daniels threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs with 57 seconds left, after the Giants’ offence failed to run down the clock or extend its lead.

Jevón Holland intercepted Daniels at the 2-yard line with under six minutes remaining, and Ar’Darius Washington picked off a pass on fourth-and-2 near midfield soon after. But the Giants could not turn those stops into a win, and Rasul Douglas later intercepted a pass intended for Malik Nabers to seal the Commanders’ victory before New York could reach field-goal range. Rookie Arvell Reese also made 13 tackles.
