Giants vs Commanders: How to Watch, Odds, History and More
The New York Giants are now 7-5-1 and still amid the playoff push. However, things haven’t been so good recently for the Giants. Since coming out of the bye week, they’ve been an abysmal 1-3-1 and have dropped to last place in the NFC East. The good news is that they still have a winning record and are currently in a playoff position.
The Giants still control their destiny from here on out. Four games remain in the 2022 season, the first of which is against the Washington Commanders. The Commanders and Giants tied two weeks ago, 20-20. In a game hyped up as deciding which team would make the playoffs over the other, neither squad could pull ahead and win the game. Nevertheless, the stakes between these two teams became so high that the league flexed the game to Sunday Night Football.
The Giants are not particularly good in primetime games, but that does not matter, as this is a must-win game if they want to reach the postseason. This is not a ‘win, and you’re in’ game, but if the Giants win, they’ll likely be headed to the playoffs.
Quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley will make their Sunday Night Football debuts. Both will need to lead their team to victory after weeks of losing. Another late storyline is that linebacker Landon Collins will be elevated from the practice squad and face the team that released him.
These are two teams with the same record battling for a playoff spot. It’ll be fun to see who comes out with the victory this time.
