The Washington Commanders beat the New York Giants 24-21 on Thursday night in East Rutherford, New Jersey, with Jayden Daniels leading a late touchdown drive that kept their NFC East hopes alive. Isaiah Likely had earlier given the Giants the lead with a 66-yard touchdown catch from J.J. McCarthy, who threw for a career-high 293 yards. The win improved Washington to 3-5-1 and left it two games behind New York, though with the tiebreaker. Daniels overcame his first two interceptions of the season, finishing a 71-yard drive in 49 seconds with a 32-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs. It was Washington's first win with a touchdown on its final drive, and it eased questions about coach Dan Quinn's future after the team went 7-17-1 since the start of last season. McCarthy's late interception with 25 seconds left ended the game, and Rasul Douglas had intercepted the Giants' previous possession. ESPN also published midseason awards candidates and team-by-team reports through Week 9.
