## Key points

- Giants lost 24-21 after giving up a fourth-quarter lead.
- Winston’s failed third-and-one sneak was pivotal.
- A replay review overturned the initial first-down ruling.

## Summary

The Giants lost 24-21 to the Commanders on Thursday after surrendering a fourth-quarter lead, with the final lead change deciding the game. The article argues that poor execution by the Giants left quarterback Jameis Winston exposed at a crucial moment.

With 3:27 remaining and New York leading 21-17, Winston failed to gain a yard on third down during a quarterback sneak. Fullback Patrick Ricard was positioned away from the push, while Cam Skattebo remained in the backfield; officials initially awarded a first down, but a Commanders challenge reversed the call.
