Stefon Diggs touchdown helps Washington Commanders beat New York Giants
The Washington Commanders defeated the New York Giants 24-21 on Thursday night thanks to a late touchdown pass from Jayden Daniels to Stefon Diggs.
Final minute rally secures victory
Jayden Daniels threw his third touchdown pass with 57 seconds remaining in the game. The 32-yard strike went to Stefon Diggs and kept Washington's season alive against New York. The final score was 24-21 after a dramatic comeback from the visitors. Daniels completed 23 of 33 passes for 249 total yards during the match.
Giants struggle with ball movement
New York allowed JJ McCarthy and Isaiah Likely to connect for a 66-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. Even with that result, the Giants failed to advance their offense sufficiently on the field to burn off time. Jameis Winston attempted to get Washington offside using a hard count involving barks but failed. Throughout the game, Daniels received the ball again and again as the Giants punted several times.
Diggs reaches historic milestone mark
After breaking free, Stefon Diggs trotted backward toward the end zone to honor his 80th career touchdown catch. He is now the 30th player in league history to reach that specific milestone. In his initial home game after moving from Minnesota, McCarthy completed 293 career-best passing yards. Rasul Douglas intercepted the quarterback in the final minute, sending fans toward the exits.
