Giants Lead NFC East

The New York Giants enter Thursday night atop the NFC East with a 5-2-1 record. Washington sits at 2-5-1. Washington fell to the Los Angeles Rams last week.

These teams previously met in Week 5 at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, playing to a 27-27 tie. Jayden Daniels rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns in that initial matchup.

The teams have met 187 times in regular season play. The Giants lead the all-time series, 107-74-6. A win for the Commanders Thursday would draw them to two games behind the Giants in the NFC East.

McCarthy and Washington Face Multiple Player Injuries

J.J. McCarthy starts under center for the Giants, according to CBS Sports. McCarthy briefly left last week’s game with a hip injury before returning, and running back Cam Skattebo has managed a hamstring issue.

For Washington, head coach Dan Quinn handles an offense missing several pieces. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin is done for the season. Dyami Brown, Jaylin Lane, running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and reserve running back Jeremy McNichols are on the injured reserve list. Treylon Burks misses his second consecutive game, and offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil is on the injured list.

The Commanders are undermanned due to injuries to Laremy Tunsil and Terry McLaurin. Dan Quinn said that the key for them is sticking with it for four quarters. “There's going to be some plays that are the ones and zeros, and that's part of going, but I also want us to make sure we stay with it and keep going,” Quinn added.
