With 3:27 left in Thursday’s game, the Giants lined up with Jameis Winston under center on fourth-and-1 from their own 11-yard line. The team’s backup quarterback, who directs the team’s quarterback strategies, yelled, “Hut One. Hut Two. Hut Three. Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who?” The Giants delayed the game and then punted. The Commanders had the last laugh, winning 24-21 on a 32-yard touchdown by Stefon Diggs with 57 seconds left. The Commanders are 3-5-1 and the Giants are 5-3-1. In an entertaining second half, the teams exchanged the lead four times. The Giants took a 21-17 lead with 8:13 remaining on a 66-yard catch and run by Isaiah Likely. The Giants then had back-to-back interceptions by Jayden Daniels. Safety Jevon Holland, who is having an All-Pro season, stripped the ball from Chig Okonkwo at the Commanders’ 2-yard line at the Giants’ 24-yard line with 5:27 left, and Ar’Darius Washington stepped in front of Okonkwo on fourth-and-2 at the Washington 45-yard line with 2:15 left. However, the Giants couldn’t run out of time and the Commanders made the most of it. They needed just three plays to go 71 yards thanks to a questionable 33-yard pass interference penalty on Deonte Banks, who was covering Treylon Burks. Three plays later, Diggs scored. The Giants reached the Washington 48-yard line on their final drive, but JJ McCarthy’s deep throw to Malik Nabers was intercepted by Rasul Douglas with 25 seconds left. The Giants outscored the Commanders 399 to 340, but missed a field goal and had two turnovers. Daniels was 23 of 33 for 249 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Rachaad White ran for 47 yards on 11 carries and Diggs caught six passes for 83 yards. Antonio Williams and Ben Sinnott each caught a touchdown pass. McCarthy was 23 of 36 for 293 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Cam Skattebo had 18 carries for 78 yards and two touchdowns and caught three passes for 44 yards, and Likely had nine receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown.
