### Washington Ends Losing Streak Against Giants with 27-22 Victory

In a game that seemed off-kilter from start to finish, Washington managed to break its disappointing streak against the New York Giants with a 27-22 win. Although Washington didn't appear to be firing on all cylinders on either side of the ball, it controlled the game throughout. The officiating tried to sway things in New York's favor, but Washington's resilient offense outmatched the Giants' defense, cementing their lead in the NFC East.

Jayden Daniels, despite having what some might call a modest performance by his standards, was efficient and effective. Daniels threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns on 15 completions out of 22 attempts, with no interceptions. He also contributed 35 yards on the ground, continuing to demonstrate his dual-threat capability.

Austin Ekeler stepped up admirably in the absence of the injured Brian Robinson. Ekeler racked up 42 rushing yards and a touchdown, while also hauling in three catches for 41 yards. His contributions didn't stop there; he added 35 yards on a kickoff return, totaling 118 all-purpose yards for the day.

Washington's defense had its standouts as well. Dante Fowler was a key disruptor, recording six tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble, and five pressures. Jeremy Chinn was another defensive star, leading the team with 13 total tackles, including seven solo tackles and two tackles for a loss, along with a defended pass.

Despite referee decisions that seemed to favor the Giants, Washington's secondary managed to contain Malik Nabers to just 59 yards on nine receptions. On offense, Noah Brown became Daniels' primary target, catching five passes for 60 yards. The offensive line also deserved praise for not allowing any sacks and helping generate 149 rushing yards.

Special teams had its moments, too, thanks to kicker Austin Seibert, who has now amassed 25 field goals this season, leading the NFL. Washington's victory wasn't merely a result of standout individual performances but a collective effort that saw contributions from all units of the team.

Overall, while some players like Payne and Mathis had quiet afternoons, Washington’s coordinated team effort was enough to secure a much-needed win against a divisional rival, further solidifying their position atop the NFC East.
