The Washington Football Team lost their 5th straight game today, dropping to 1-5. They also handed the New York Giants their first win of the season, pushing them to 1-5. They are now tied for the worst record in the terrible NFC East.
1st Quarter
Washington gets the ball first
Danny Johnson with a solid return after a so-so kick. Washington will start at the 32.

Washington starts Antonio Gandy-Golden at WR in a two-receiver set.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 18, 2020
Two plays, two touches for Antonio Gibson. Feed the third-round rookie RB.

Saahdiq Charles gets injured:
Charles limps off. Wes Schweitzer in for him instead of Martin.

Go for it on 4th down:
And Riveboat Ron's bet pays of. Gain of 2 on 4th and 1
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) October 18, 2020
Wildcat fail:
Kyle Allen gets a penalty w the team lined up in Wildcat. Mental mistake.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 18, 2020
Antonio Gandy-Golden injured:
After a miscommunication on first down, Antonio Gandy-Golden goes to the sideline hobbling. He laid on the sideline for a moment, and now Dr. Robin West is working on his right quad. His helmet is off.

Antonio Gandy-Golden is out with a hamstring injury.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 18, 2020
WFT officially ran nine plays on its opening drive that consumed 5:43. Running backs touched the ball on all nine plays with an even split between Gibson, McKissic and Barber.
Giants get the ball:
Evan Ingram gets behind Landon Collins for a 23-yard gain. Giants continuing trend of attacking Washington with tight ends.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) October 18, 2020
Giants have 35 yards in 2 plays. This is a baaaad start guys
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 18, 2020
Well, hello Chase Young. Stays home and snuffs out the reverse
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) October 18, 2020
3rd and 5 - Washington shows double mug with SS Landon Collins off the edge. Collins late to peel, RB swings by him for a first down. pic.twitter.com/vfO1HvhAqj
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2020
Ryan Kerrigan made the stat sheet this game. Sacks Daniel Jones on third after the NYG QB held the ball and then held it some more.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 18, 2020
Graham Gano makes his FG attempt. 3-0 Giants.
Trademark sack for Ryan Kerrigan on 3rd down. Gets up and under the tackle, drives him back, gets inside to sack the QB pic.twitter.com/jz7p4C6O7B
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2020
Kyle Allen throws a terrible INT directly to James Bradberry:
No idea what route Wright is running here either. It's a dagger concept. He just gets in the way pic.twitter.com/6oM2ZIiLfE
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2020
Pass intended for Terry, it’s INT, Terry gets tackled, gets up, chases Bradberry down, and tackles him. Hate the turnover, love the hustle by McLaurin. #WashingtonFootball #WASvsNYG
— Julie Donaldson (@juliedonaldson_) October 18, 2020
Daniels Jones comeback game?
Daniel Jones hasn't thrown a touchdown since Week 1. Those are the only touchdowns he's had all season. Washington just gave up a 23-yard touchdown on third down. Burgundy and gold trail, 10-0, in the first quarter
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) October 18, 2020
Giants TD - Nice blitz pick up from the back on Landon Collins. Fabian Moreau left on an island to the left, gets beat. Hell of a throw by Jones for the TD. pic.twitter.com/he7JT7wkdz
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2020
Teamwork:
All three phases contributed to the struggles. #teamwork
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 18, 2020
Short-term memory:
I love Scott Turner coming out after the interception and throwing on consecutive first downs.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 18, 2020
29-yard completion to Logan Thomas. A 10-yard completion to Gibson. Across midfield. Giants expecting you to ease him back into the fold. Nope. Show some confidence. Take a shot.
Slow start:
Washington has now been outscored, 47-14, in the opening quarter this season. They have also been outgained, 521-339, in the first quarter. In short: They get off to bad starts way too often. https://t.co/7swqJuW9VG
— John Keim (@john_keim) October 18, 2020
2nd Quarter
Kyle Allen takes a huge sack:
That's the exact sack we all agreed Haskins couldnt take. And Allen took it.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 18, 2020
Absolutely can't take this sack. Saw the unblocked defender didn't bite on receiver working to flat, have to get the ball out. Bad decision from Allen. pic.twitter.com/ZLyeB0Sy2t
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2020
Dustin Hopkins makes a FG:
Here comes Hopkins for the field goal. This time it goes through. Washington comes away trailing 10-3, but that 11-yard sack brought down a lot of the momentum it had built over that 70-yard drive. Still, Washington cuts the lead to one score.
— Zach Selby (@ZachDSelby) October 18, 2020
Daniel Jones big play alert:
Daniel Jones nearly had a longer run against this defense than Lamar Jackson. Wow
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) October 18, 2020
Washington defense just gave up their 9th 40+yard play. Worst in the NFL. This time a 49-yard run by Daniel Jones.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 18, 2020
Landon Collins got completely sucked in on the right edge and lost any contain allowing Daniel Jones to rumble for your standard 49-yard gain.
— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) October 18, 2020
Look out! #washingtonFootball
Jones long run - Everyone crashed inside, nobody scrapped to account for threat of QB pulling and running. pic.twitter.com/oSRaKbgTR5
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2020
Giants play it safe:
The Giants should've absolutely gone for this 4th and Goal with their 2nd year QB just to see what would happen.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 18, 2020
Instead, FG. 13-3
Washington scoring drive:
The #WashingtonFootball offense just turned a 2nd-and-17 into a first down with consecutive completions between the numbers.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 18, 2020
Spreading the Giants out and moving the ball.
Isaiah Wright did a good job of fighting for extra yardage there beyond first down marker.
— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) October 18, 2020
Came out of a 3 WR left bunch.#WashingtonFootball has been heavy with the three receiver to one side alignment today.
Washington pulls the C to the edge as part of a play-action fake. Giants send a DB blitz off that side and Roullier can't get to him. Allen feels the pressure coming and steps up, but opens a lane for the DB to work inside past McKissic for the sack. pic.twitter.com/w1pJecSj59
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2020
Tress Way remains very good at his job, even when he gets blasted.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) October 18, 2020
After tat running into the kicker call, Washington appears set to go for it on 4th down
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) October 18, 2020
4th down call - looked like Allen had McLaurin on the crosser, but opted against it due to pressure, scrambled to his right and found Inman down the field for a first down. pic.twitter.com/wNNeDC7jSa
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2020
Goalline Fade!:
This is a moon ball by Allen, got PLENTY of air under it to drop it over the shoulder. Great catch by TE Logan Thomas. Washington gets the TD before the half. pic.twitter.com/Dm6Ca73lig

Some one hand swag from Logan Thomas @LoganThomasSr_6 @WashingtonNFL

Terry McLaurin breaks James Bradberry's ankles, Kyle Allen throws a perfect pass and Logan Thomas has the toe-drag TD.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) October 18, 2020
Might be Washington's prettiest play of the season.
3rd Quarter
Penalty on a Daniel Jones run:
3rd down - Washington bails out of a double mug look into what appeared to be Cover-3. Jones scrambles, jukes KPL for the 1st down, then gets a roughing call as he slides. pic.twitter.com/EONwXmBQOf

Giants WR C.J. Board injured:
Here's that hit from Everett. Didn't look good for the receiver as he went down. pic.twitter.com/Q9XIPSLD8o
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2020
Removed his facemask and trainers being very careful as they load Board onto a stretcher. Haven't seen him move yet https://t.co/RaXdNUkqqB
— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) October 18, 2020
C.J. Board has a concussion and a sprained neck, and is being taken to the hospital for further evaluation, per the press box announcement.

Montez Sweat kills the drive:
Nice job by Montez Sweat chasing this run down from the back side on 3rd and 1 to get Washington off the field. pic.twitter.com/Y6wGJW3odd

Kendall Fuller is good at football:
Kendall Fuller, who just got hit with DPI, just made a beautiful, laid-out interception. Looks like he got the elbow down before going out of bounds
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) October 18, 2020
Here's the Fuller INT pic.twitter.com/7k76zPQVo4
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2020
It's REALLY REALLY nice to have @KeFu11er back
— Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL) October 18, 2020
#WASvsNYG on FOX pic.twitter.com/jM1nBNUcyL
In #WASvsNYG, the ruling on field was an interception – it wasn’t clear and obvious that Washington CB Kendall Fuller’s elbow is out of bounds, so the ruling stands. pic.twitter.com/EaLgUutPuN
— NFL Officiating (@NFLOfficiating) October 18, 2020
Chase Young had big pressure on Daniel Jones on that throw, and if the INT counts, then Fuller has at least one in three straight games and four total.

4th Quarter
Kyle Allen scrambles for the 1st, Ron Rivera challenges the spot:
Think Allen just managed to extend the ball over the first down marker here. Under review. pic.twitter.com/hlbXrYuI44
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2020
No call...:
With a closer look at it from a better angle...absolutely there early ...Should be DPI https://t.co/9IuHC9tBCQ
— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) October 18, 2020
All tied up:
Dustin Hopkins boots a 27-yard field goal and it's tied 13-13 with 8:56 remaining.

Daron Payne is good at football:

Defense gets a stop:
Washington gets the stop it needs, and it'll take over at the 23-yard line. Just under 7 minutes to play in a tie game.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) October 18, 2020
Washington gets the ball back:
Another third-down conversion, this time to Dontrelle Inman. Nice throw on the run from Kyle Allen.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) October 18, 2020
Kyle Allen is strip sacked for a Giants TD:
Allen had ball security issues in Caroline. Hurts in a big moment here, loses the ball and Giants not only recover, but take it all the way back for a TD. pic.twitter.com/3MBHlLNAJH
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 18, 2020
Washington’s final drive:
Isaiah Wright is down. The team already lost Antonio Gandy-Golden in the first quarter.

Cams Sims first NFL TD:
What a time to have your first TD‼️
