The Washington Commanders halted their eight-game slide with a chaotic 29-21 victory over the New York Giants, but the win felt more like survival than dominance. We break down the pivotal “Avalanche” sequence—a 90-second explosion of points before halftime involving a Jaylin Lane punt return and a Mike Sainristil interception that built a lead the team barely held onto. Despite a heroic goal-line stand, late fumbles by Marcus Mariota and Jeremy McNichols turned a comfortable afternoon into a nail-biter.
Kliff Kingsbury coached his most aggressive game of the season, shattering his short-yardage tendencies and dialing up a massive deep shot to Terry McLaurin. However, the victory was marred by a “War of Attrition” that saw Laremy Tunsil and Noah Brown exit with injuries. Can the offensive line hold up moving forward, and is the team’s lack of discipline a fatal flaw for the 2026 roster build?
