Stefon Diggs Scores Late Touchdown as Commanders Defeat Giants 24-21

Stefon Diggs caught a 32-yard touchdown pass with 57 seconds remaining on Thursday, November 12, lifting the Washington Commanders to a 24-21 victory over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.

The win moves Washington to 3-5-1 on the season, keeping the team in contention within the NFC East. New York drops to 5-3-1, retaining first place in the division despite squandering a late advantage.

Washington held a 10-7 lead at halftime following a one-yard touchdown pass from Jayden Daniels to Ben Sinnott. The Giants countered with a pair of rushing scores from Cam Skattebo, before Daniels connected with rookie Antonio Williams on a 31-yard touchdown.

New York reclaimed the lead with 8 minutes and 13 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter when J.J. McCarthy threw a 66-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely, making it 21-17.

Daniels threw interceptions on consecutive possessions late in the fourth quarter, giving New York prime field position. Jevón Holland intercepted a pass with 5 minutes and 27 seconds left, and Ar’Darius Washington added another pick with 2 minutes and 15 seconds remaining.

The Giants failed to pick up a single first down on either ensuing possession. Washington’s defense stopped Skattebo twice on the ground, and Sonny Styles dropped McCarthy for a two-yard loss on third down.

Daniels then found Diggs over the middle for the game-winning score. McCarthy attempted a deep pass to Malik Nabers on the game’s final possession, but Rasul Douglas intercepted it with 25 seconds left to seal the result.

Skattebo finished the night with 78 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries, adding 44 receiving yards for the Giants. Likely hauled in nine receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown.

McCarthy recorded a personal-best 293 passing yards, though his late interception proved costly. For Washington, Daniels completed 23 of 33 passes for 249 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions.

Diggs caught six passes for 83 yards, capped by the decisive score. The Commanders’ offensive line surrendered only one sack throughout the contest, allowing the defense to hold firm as the visitors secured the division victory.
