The New York Giants outgained Washington 384 to 340, committed fewer penalties, and lost the ball less often. They still lost by eight. On December 14, 2025, the Commanders ended their eight-game losing streak with a 29-21 victory at MetLife Stadium, built almost entirely on special teams: a 63-yard punt return touchdown from Jaylin Lane and a Mike Sainristil interception returned 55 yards that set up the last field goal of the first half, turning a 12-point lead into 15 heading into the break.
