The New York Giants were left rueing their mistakes against the Washington Commanders, as they absorbed a painful loss, 24-21, at MetLife Stadium on Thursday Night Football.
Jayden Daniels connected with Stefon Diggs for a 32-yard touchdown with 57 seconds left to bury the Giants. New York fell to 5-3-1, while Washington improved to 3-5-1.
The Giants could have strengthened their grip on the top spot in the NFC East had they won. Coach John Harbaugh, however, remained unfazed, as reported by ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
“It's a missed opportunity, but it doesn't change our goals,” said Harbaugh.
The last-minute defeat spoiled the strong performance of JJ McCarthy in his home debut. McCarthy went 23-of-36 for 293 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also had six carries for 34 yards.
The Giants will host the Jacksonville Jaguars on November 22.
