Officiating was a hot topic in the wake of the Giants’ 20-12 win over the Commanders on Sunday night, with two pivotal decisions going against Washington in the final moments of the game.
“Don’t ask me about the refereeing,” Commanders coach Ron Rivera said afterward. “I can’t answer the question.”
On fourth-and-goal with 56 seconds left in the game, Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke threw a pass to receiver Curtis Samuel in the end zone, but Giants cornerback Darnay Holmes broke up the play. Although Holmes clearly contacted Samuel before the ball arrived, the officiating crew did not call a penalty.
