How Giants-Commanders tie affects NFC East playoff odds

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- It was a result that didn’t leave anyone happy. The New York Giants and Washington Commanders finished Sunday in a 20-20 tie that did little to differentiate the wild-card contenders.

“It sucks obviously,” Giants running back Saquon Barkley said.

This was an important December game with playoff implications. The Giants (7-4-1) and Commanders (7-5-1) are vying for one of the NFC’s final wild-card spots.

The tie just left everyone’s heads spinning.

“I’m not going to lie. I have no clue,” said rookie outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux of how this affected the Giants’ playoff chances.
