Story summary

Jayden Daniels returned to play for the Washington Commanders against the New York Giants on Sunday, after missing two games due to a dislocated left elbow. Despite the injury, Daniels participated fully in practice and wore a brace that kept his elbow slightly bent but allowed him to continue playing. The game, played at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, ended in a 27-27 tie after both teams made critical mistakes during overtime. The Giants' Jameis Winston led a comeback with 326 passing yards and three touchdowns, while Daniels ran for 103 yards, showing no apparent distress from his injury. However, the Commanders squandered their opportunity to win by poor clock management, leading to the second tie between the teams in the last three seasons.
