The New York Giants lost their eighth-straight game on Sunday, falling to the Washington Commanders, 29-21. The Giants had a chance to tie the game late, but turned the ball over on downs with less than two minutes to play.

The New York Giants lost their eighth straight game, this one to the Washington Commanders. Here are the highlights.

The Detroit Lions didn't play their best game of the season, but it was certainly their most entertaining game.

New York briefly grabbed the lead late in the fourth quarter when Jameis Winston, starting in place of the injured Jaxson Dart, powered in a 1-yard rushing touchdown to cap a marathon 15-play, 85-yard drive. It gave the Giants a 20–19 lead with just over five minutes remaining. But the lead didn’t last.

It hasn't been a dream rookie season for Carter, but games like Sunday's show what the linebacker is capable of.

Commanders’ offensive line vs. Giants’ pass rush. Only Cleveland’s Myles Garrett, approaching the single-season record, has more sacks than New York’s Brian Burns, with a career-high 13. Even without Kayvon Thibodeaux, there should be plenty of pressure on Mariota from Burns, rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence.

Speaking of divisional games, the Giants can aim for a .500 record against their division opponents, something they last accomplished in 2020 (4-2), if they take care of business against Washington today and then Dallas in the regular-season finale at home.
