At last, the Washington Commanders are finally back in the win column. They beat the New York Giants on the road in Week 15, holding on despite two late fumbles from quarterback Marcus Mariota and running back Jeremy McNichols.
The Commanders benefited from several careless mistakes by the Giants, including two missed Younghoe Koo field goals. But the biggest game-changing play came right before halftime.
Rookie wide receiver Jaylin Lane took a punt return to the house, giving the Commanders a 19-7 lead after the Giants had the chance to grab the advantage heading into the break.
