Scrutinized Daniels finds redemption with game-winning drive for Commanders
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels shook off two interceptions and multiple weeks of failed late-game drives. Then he delivered when Washington needed him most -- in a game it had to win.
Daniels' 32-yard touchdown pass with 49 seconds remaining gave the Commanders a 24-21 win over the New York Giants on Thursday night.
"Baby Kobe," said Washington receiver Stefon Diggs, who caught Daniels' pass.
Washington (3-5-1) is two games behind the Giants (5-3-1) in the NFC East. Washington had struggled in late-game situations, with three of its past four games coming down to the final minute. The Commanders were 0-2-1 in those contests.
