In the extra period, with the Commanders out of timeouts after the two-minute warning, John Harbaugh had Cam Skattebo run the ball on first down from the Washington 24-yard line rather than take a knee. Skattebo fumbled, and Washington recovered.\n\nJayden Daniels then drove the Commanders into position for a potential game-winning field goal, hitting two passes for 29 yards and running for 16 more to reach the Giants' 24. All Washington needed to do was spike the ball and send out the kicker. Instead, Daniels took a snap and the clock ran out, with Daniels going down with eight seconds left, ending the game in a tie. Commanders coach Dan Quinn was visibly furious on the sideline as the sequence unfolded.\n\nDespite not getting the win, New York held onto first place in the NFC East. Giants fans largely defended Skattebo afterward, treating the fumble as a rare misstep from a player who has become a fan favorite since joining the team this season.","published_at":"2026-10-12T17:03:19.018988+00:00","source_count":6,"written_from":[{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"The six things we learned from Giants’ Week 6 tie: Seismic defensive pivot on full display","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/12/sports/the-six-things-we-learned-from-giants-week-6-tie-seismic-defensive-pivot/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Giants fans rally behind Cam Skattebo after RB makes ‘it sucks’ admission about late-game mistake","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/giants-fans-rally-behind-cam-101500825.html"},{"outlet":"Front Office Sports","publisher":"Front Office Sports","title":"John Harbaugh’s Giants Are Contenders, Even With a Tie in Washington","url":"https://frontofficesports.com/article/john-harbaughs-giants-are-contenders-even-with-a-tie-in-washington/"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Commanders-Giants tie: Washington delivers disastrous end-of-game sequence following Cam Skattebo fumble","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/commanders-giants-ends-tie-overtime-clock-management-2026/"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Commanders let clock run out, tie Giants 27-27","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/commanders-let-clock-run-out-tie-giants-27-27"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Commanders, Giants both commit gaffes in overtime that led to bizarre tie.
