The Giants entered their biggest game of the year Sunday night. They were the visitors in Washington, just two weeks after tying the Commanders 20-20 at MetLife Stadium.
Both teams were 7-6-1 and eying an NFC Wild Card playoff spot. But it was the Giants who concluded the night on the victor’s side of the scoreboard, winning a 20-12 defensive battle that saw Big Blue record two takeaways and placekicker Graham Gano boot through a pair of 50-yard field goals in the second half.
And now, the Giants are very much alive in the NFC playoff race.
