Story summary

The New York Giants suffered a 24-21 loss to the Washington Commanders on Thursday, November 13, 2026, in a game that kept Washington in the playoff mix. The defeat followed a period of resilience for the Giants, who had recently ended a 13-game losing streak at the Linc by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 19-11. During that victory, starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a hip injury and was replaced by Jameis Winston, who led a 76-yard go-ahead touchdown drive. Despite the injury, McCarthy stated on November 9 that he felt good and planned to play against Washington. However, the Giants were unable to hold a four-point lead in the final two minutes of the November 13 game after Jayden Daniels threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs with 57 seconds remaining. The loss leaves the Giants with a 5-3-1 record, holding a two-game lead over the Commanders (3-5-1) for first place in the NFC East. The Giants now face a difficult stretch of the schedule to determine if they remain legitimate playoff contenders.

The team will be wearing its Vintage White uniforms.
Halloween will have come and gone by the time the Giants hit the field again.
This was a top-level outing for the offensive line and especially the two ailing tackles, Andrew Thomas and Jermaine Eluemunor, who did yeoman work against gifted edge rushers Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson.
This week, the coaching staff told Deonte Banks that he would be following Nico Collins, the Texans’ top wide receiver, all over the field.
It is definitely possible that the addition of J.J. McCarthy in the starting lineup will help the Giants get back to the business of running the ball at an acceptable rate, perhaps as soon as Sunday against the Texans.
There was an expectation Holland would be able to clear the protocol and make it back for this game, as he was able to get on the field and practice on a limited basis Thursday and Friday.
The Giants had been 3-0 at MetLife Stadium but could not get to 4-0 at home for the first time since 2008.
The Saints could not run the ball, nor could they stop the run.
Just because they wanted to do it and were determined to establish that this would be their identity did not make it so.
Even though the Giants hired John Harbaugh, there were not many great expectations for how they would fare this season from outside the building.
