Washington starts the game with a 10-0 lead, but goes into halftime tied 13-13 with the Giants
Dec 4, 2022 - 7:20 PMThe Washington Commanders started the game with a fumble recovery on Daniel Jones that led to a field goal(that should have been a TD). Taylor Heinicke found Terry McLaurin for a TD, but Washington’s offense was held to only a FG after that. The Giants fought back, and got some huge help from a big pass to Darius Slayton. Daniel Jones has been running all over the Commanders in the 1st half, and they will need to make halftime adjustments or he will continue to pick up yards at ease. The Giants tied up the game 13-13 on their final drive. Washington gets the ball to start the 3rd quarter.
1st Quarter
Coin toss:
Commanders called heads. Good choice because that's the winning call. Deferred to the 2H.

Daniel Jones, you're up.

Daniel Jones fumbles and it's recovered by the Commanders. Here comes Taylor Heinicke with the ball in Giants territory

Damn bad miss there - Heinicke had Logan Thomas for a walk in TD and sailed it

3rd down:

Settled for a FG:
Washington gets on the field first with a field goal from Joey Slye. Washington took advantage of the Daniel Jones and drove 45 yards on 10 plays. The score: Washington 3, New York 0

Brian Robinson 1st down:
The stadium DJ played the third-down music, but Brian Robinson was still running. First down. Impressive.

Taylor to Terry TD!:
TOUCHDOWN

Terry McLaurin sheds the tackle and trots into the endzone for six.
That's just what he does!
Nice drive from Heinicke!#HTTC | @TheTerry_25 pic.twitter.com/3UCa4j0BGW
3rd and short, you know it's gonna be some form of mesh for Washington. Great job by Heinicke stepping up to avoid the pressure and finding McLaurin on his crosser. McLaurin makes a nice adjustment to make the catch before breaking a tackle and walking in for a TD pic.twitter.com/OP0XCBmpLR

Big Daniel Jones run:

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) December 4, 2022
Aggressive flow to the ball also left middle open. Jones' legs are the only offense for NY right now. But also a fumble on one run.

2nd Quarter
3rd down stop:

Giants FG:
Bobby McCain and Jon Bostic sniffed out that short pass on 3rd.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) December 4, 2022
Gano from 48 is... good.
10-3
McLaurin almost got the 3rd down conversion:
Would have loved a replay / different angle of that 3rd down McLaurin stretch.

Big play alert:
No call for OPI here?
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) December 4, 2022
Also, this play 100% happened because @Scott7news jinxed us by saying Giants had no downfield passing game.
SCOTT. pic.twitter.com/wALEfXmNXS
Christian Holmes really wanted a push-off there, but Daniel Jones connects with an "eff it, he's down there somewhere" ball to Darius Slayton. Gain of 55.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) December 4, 2022
Daniel Jones again:
No call for holding against Montez Sweat.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) December 4, 2022
Two big missed calls on this drive that helped the Giants.#HTTC pic.twitter.com/17wYqohUqm

Taylor to Terry:
This play here is emblematic of the Heinicke experience. Felt like it was in the air forever and your nervous the entire time you see it sailing. McLaurin boxed out a defender and it got to his chest to move the chains with no additional margin for error. pic.twitter.com/BiM1ORfovC

Fabian Moreau penalty on Terry McLaurin:

Big flag there keeps the Commanders driving. Moreau with the hold. That sounds familiar
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) December 4, 2022
Terry McLaurin drawing a holding call on third down is just as good as a catch. He's really impacting this thing so far

Gibson saves a big loss:
That's the best no-gain run ever for Antonio Gibson. Should have been a loss.

John Bates/Logan Thomas:
Looks like John Bates is getting the nod over Logan Thomas. There have been a few notable third downs in which Bates has stayed on with Thomas on the sideline. Thomas has been dealing with a rib injury, but that's still somewhat surprising.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) December 4, 2022
3rd down DPI call reversed:
This was flagged for DPI, but the officials picked up the flag and said no-penalty.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) December 4, 2022
Hmmm. pic.twitter.com/ydsYxiZ7sW
Rivera furious at the officials right now.

Deservedly so. pic.twitter.com/NX3JzMaNxV
Joey Slye FG:
And Washington is back in the lead with that 42-yard field goal by Slye. Commanders took 6:21 off the clock. Giants have all three of their timeouts plus the two-minute warning though
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) December 4, 2022
3rd and 10:
Poor job tackling by the Commanders leads to the Giants picking up a 3rd and 10 conversion. Should have been stopped well short pic.twitter.com/usMUuFVQCC
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 4, 2022
Missed tackles there by Holmes and Curl leads to a 10-yard gain and a NYG 1st down...
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) December 4, 2022
Giants FG:
Giants tie the score again, capping off a 12-play, 67-yard drive with a 26-yard field goal.
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) December 4, 2022
Efe Obada very nearly blocked that kick there. File that away for later
