The Washington Commanders and New York Giants battled to a 27-27 tie in an overtime finish on October 11, 2026. The Commanders had a 27-13 lead in the fourth quarter but allowed the Giants to come back and tie the game. In overtime, Washington regained possession after a forced fumble but failed to execute a potential game-winning field goal due to poor clock management by quarterback Jayden Daniels.
