The New York Giants lost their eighth-straight game on Sunday, falling to the Washington Commanders, 29-21. The Giants had a chance to tie the game late, but turned the ball over on downs with less than two minutes to play.

The Detroit Lions didn't play their best game of the season, but it was certainly their most entertaining game.

It hasn't been a dream rookie season for Carter, but games like Sunday's show what the linebacker is capable of.

New York briefly grabbed the lead late in the fourth quarter when Jameis Winston, starting in place of the injured Jaxson Dart, powered in a 1-yard rushing touchdown to cap a marathon 15-play, 85-yard drive. It gave the Giants a 20–19 lead with just over five minutes remaining. But the lead didn’t last.

The Packers defeated the Giants, 27-20, in a Week 11 game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Here's a recap of all the top plays and scoring highlights.

In a game featuring the two worst teams in the NFC East, the Commanders' special teams unit made the difference.

Dart finished stronger than he started: 20 of 36 for 246 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He also had 63 yards on the ground and added a trip to the medical tent on a goal-line rush. Overall, it wasn’t Dart’s best effort.
