By The Numbers: Washington Football Team pulls off a stunner

What a rollercoaster. If you didn’t have high blood pressure at the beginning of the game, you sure did by the end. The Washington Football Team defeated the Giants 30-29 to get their first win of the season, after Dustin Hopkins hit a 43-yard field goal with no time left. So how did we get here?

Well for one, Washington’s defense didn’t come out to play and let Daniel Jones live up to his Danny Dimes nickname.

But luck and for Taylor Heinicke, destiny was definitely on their side tonight. The Giants left two touchdowns on the field, with a 58-yard touchdown run from Daniel Jones called back for holding, and a wide-open drop by Darius Slayton in the end zone on a blown coverage.
