The Washington Commanders and New York Giants tied 27-27 on Sunday after both teams squandered glorious chances to win in overtime.
The Commanders were in field-goal range late in the extra frame but failed to spike the ball in time due to horrendous clock management.
Washington ran its penultimate play with 55 seconds left on the clock. The team didn't run another until 12 seconds remained. Quarterback Jayden Daniels was tackled behind the line of scrimmage on a scramble to keep the clock running. The Commanders were out of timeouts and didn't get the next snap off in time.
The Giants, meanwhile, were inside field-goal range on the previous drive until running back Cam Skattebo lost a fumble.
The Commanders led 27-13 in the fourth quarter after Daniels' second rushing touchdown of the day, but the Jameis Winston-led Giants scored 14 unanswered points to force overtime.
It's the first tie in the NFL since September 2025 when the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys ended their Sunday Night Football bout with a score of 40-40. The last NFL tie before that was a 20-20 stalemate in December 2022 between the Commanders and Giants.
