New York Giants at Washington Commanders

NYG 27 · WSH 27 · 2026 Week 5

Nobody wins: Giants and Commanders play 70 minutes to a 27-27 stalemate

The Giants and Commanders played 70 minutes of football and agreed on nothing, tying 27-27 in overtime. Washington led 27-17 with 7:20 left after Jayden Daniels' second rushing touchdown of the day — 103 rushing yards and two scores to go with 199 passing — and then watched Jameis Winston rip it all back.

Winston threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions, hitting Isaiah Likely twice and finding Malik Nabers for the tying 17-yard score with 1:43 left. Nabers finished with 11 catches for 121 yards; Likely had 11 for 94. Overtime solved nothing, because of course it didn't.

Here is the perfect summary of this game: per the win-probability models, the single biggest swing of the afternoon was a fair-catch punt (+0.402 WPA). Both teams finished with nearly identical EPA, both kickers were money from 50-plus, and both fan bases left with the hollow satisfaction of not losing. In a rivalry this heated, a tie is just a loss with better PR.
