The New York Giants tied 27-27 against the Washington Commanders on Sunday, moving their record to 3-1-1 on the season. Giants.com writers highlighted key factors from the contest, including a heavy defensive blitz rate from coordinator Dennard Wilson that pressured Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels late in the fourth quarter and overtime, as well as a resilient offensive comeback led by quarterback Jameis Winston.

Winston threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns in the second half to erase double-digit deficits amid wet, windy weather conditions.
