Jayden Daniels saved his best throw for last Thursday night. The Washington Commanders quarterback hit Stefon Diggs for a 32-yard touchdown with 57 seconds left to beat the New York Giants 24-21.

Rasul Douglas then picked off a deep J.J. McCarthy pass meant for Malik Nabers with 25 seconds left to seal it at MetLife Stadium.

A wild finish

The Giants looked like they had it won. Isaiah Likely caught a 66-yard touchdown pass from McCarthy with 8:13 left to put New York ahead 21-17.

Daniels, who had not thrown an interception all season, was picked off on each of Washington's next two drives. Jevon Holland got the first and Ar'Darius Washington got the second on fourth down with 2:15 to go.

But New York went three-and-out after both interceptions and had to punt the ball back.

Washington needed only three plays to go 71 yards, helped by a 33-yard pass interference penalty. Daniels then found Diggs behind the defense for the go-ahead score.

Back-and-forth night

Daniels finished 23 of 33 for 249 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. He threw a short touchdown pass to Ben Sinnott with five seconds left in the first half and a 31-yard score to rookie Antonio Williams in the third quarter. Diggs had six catches for 83 yards.

Cam Skattebo ran for 78 yards and two touchdowns for the Giants. McCarthy threw for 293 yards and Likely caught nine passes for 127 yards.

New York also hurt itself. Dominic Zvada missed a 33-yard field goal in the first half and Malik Nabers lost a fumble.

Rivals settle it this time

The first meeting between the teams this season ended in a 27-27 tie. This time Washington got the win and improved to 3-5-1. The Giants fell to 5-3-1.
