A collective sigh emanated from the New York Giants organization and its fanbase after escaping Sunday Night Football with a dubious 20-12 victory over the rival Washington Commanders.
Aside from Washington committing a massive mental error with an illegal formation on what could have been the game-tying touchdown run with 1:03 left to play and an obvious defensive pass interference call being missed in the end zone, New York can't be upset with the outcome itself.
However, the short-term relief doesn't provide long-term clarity. The opposite seems to be the case since the Giants (8-5-1) appear to be well on their way to a postseason appearance as the NFC's current sixth seed.
