The Washington Commanders will look to keep things going this week as they square off in the NFC East against the New York Giants for the second time this season. The Chiefs won Game 1 in dramatic fashion, but the Giants should be an improved team.
Washington will hit the road after a thrilling Hail Mary walk from Jaden Daniels to Noah Brown and will work to not have a hangover from the amount of emotion the game provided.
Here’s all the information you need for the Washington Commanders vs. New York Giants matchup.
MetLife Stadium

FOX – Chris Myers (play-by-play), Mark Sanchez (color analyst) and Christina Pink (sideline reporter)
The game can also be viewed via legal streaming platforms such as ESPN+, NFL+, FuboTV, DirectTV Stream, Hulu Plus Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.
The Washington Commanders will hit the road in search of their 7th win of the season against the New York Giants, a team they faced in Week 2, coming away with a three-point victory thanks to kicker Austin Seibert.
The Chiefs and Giants have completely opposite records, with Washington holding a slight lead over the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East at 6-2, while the Giants are at the bottom with a 2-6 record.
Washington will enter this game on top of last week’s exit against a tough Chicago Bears team and will look to carry that momentum into today’s game against New York.
The Commanders offense has been lethal this season behind quarterback Jaden Daniels and his talented players Austin Ekeler, Brian Robinson, Zach Ertz and Terry McLaurin. At the same time, the defense has steadily improved as the season has progressed. Both sides have had their blips this season but have a great chance to show what they’re all about against the giants.
The Giants’ defense isn’t one of the worst in the league, but they still struggle to prevent opposing offenses from scoring. On the offensive side of the ball, Daniel Jones continues to be up and down, but has failed to develop into a quarterback who understands how to run an NFL offense.
Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers has been the bright spot for the Giants, and he will once again challenge a secondary that he can take advantage of. Running back Tyronn Tracy has also found room to run recently, converting to running back after the departure of Saquon Barkley last offseason. Tracy suffered a concussion last week but has since cleared the protocol and will be available for this one.
According to DraftKings, the Washington Commanders enter as a 4-point favorite over the New York Giants.
The Commanders are on a roll, owning a 6-2 record while staying just ahead of the Eagles in the NFC East and will now have a struggling New York Giants team on the road. These two teams met in Week 2 this season and luckily Washington was able to pull out a 3 point victory thanks to Austin Seibert’s 7 field goals.
The Commanders have improved since then and came out on the ball offensively, led by Jaden Daniels. The defense also began to understand things as a cohesive unit. The Chiefs may be caught looking ahead to their next three games, but even if they are, I still think they do enough on Sunday to get to 7-2.
