The New York Giants and Washington Commanders entered Week 13 knowing a loss by either side would severely hurt their playoff chances. As a result, the game was very tense from the opening whistle to the closing whistle.
Ultimately, things ended with a dud for both teams. A 58-yard Graham Gano field goal fell short in overtime, leaving Washington and New York with a 20-20 tie.

Here’s a look at how Giants Twitter reacted throughout the game.
This is the best I’ve seen the #Giants pass rush look in god knows how long. Love what adding Ojulari does. This is a really promising sign for them as the clear cut strength of this team will be the defensive front if they can make a run.
Need Leonard Williams healthy, ofc.— Dan Schneier (@DanSchneierNFL) December 4, 2022
Azeez Ojulari is so valuable and seems to have made a 2nd year jump.

Dexter Lawrence with a HUGE sack that helped lead to a missed FG
Guy is having a phenomenal season
— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) December 4, 2022
This is the “deep end.” We’ll see if the Giants can rediscover their early season form of closing out opponents.
— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) December 4, 2022
That would be sack No. 6 for #Giants IDL Dexter Lawrence. Previous career-high was 4.0, which he had in 2020. Really strong year for Lawrence.

Daboll livid after that taunting call
— Charlotte Carroll (@charlottecrrll) December 4, 2022
Daniel Jones sacked on 3rd down.
Second half offense has been a disaster.
— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) December 4, 2022
Nick McCloud has been great today. Should’ve been OPI on Dotson.

Azeez Ojulari just wrecked Heinecke on the incompletion on third down.
Here’s fourth down for Washington.

Azeez Ojulari AGAIN with the QB hit on 3rd down. Dude is ballin
— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) December 4, 2022
Heck of a play by Heinecke on that fourth down. Threw it to a spot just perfectly. And the chains move.
— Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) December 4, 2022
Pinnock and Moreau making huge plays right now
— Charlotte Carroll (@charlottecrrll) December 4, 2022
Brian Daboll takes a knee …..
— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) December 4, 2022
Love Nick Gates but my man just got completely obliterated on that run…
— Alex Wilson (@AlexWilsonESM) December 4, 2022
What a huge stand for the #Giants defense. They’ll get the ball back. Washington is sending the punt team on.
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) December 4, 2022
Insane stop by the #Giants defense to force the punt…unreal play by Flott to slow down that screen

How quickly can #Giants analytics team run playoff scenarios with a tie in this game for Brian Daboll…
— Ryan Dunleavy (@rydunleavy) December 4, 2022
Daniel Jones 3 for 3 for 29 yards so far on this drive
— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) December 4, 2022
My man Isaiah Hodgins coming up CLUTCH right now — love the chemistry he’s built with Jones.
— Alex Wilson (@AlexWilsonESM) December 4, 2022
Brian Daboll, on 4th and 3 at the Commanders’ 45, isn’t going for it, isn’t kicking a FG ….
He’s taking a delay of game and punting …
Did you guys know Jake Fromm is on the Commanders?
— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) December 4, 2022
Kayvon Thibodeaux with his second career sack
— Madelyn Burke (@MadelynBurke) December 4, 2022
A tie is a very good result for both the Commanders and Giants in this situation. They should be working toward this in a play or two.
— James Kratch (@JamesKratch) December 4, 2022
I can’t believe Heinecke held on to that
— Bobby Skinner (@BobbySkinner_) December 4, 2022
Oh my. Kayvon Thibodeaux just destroyed Heinicke . Nearly a walk-off safety. He’s down at the one.
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) December 4, 2022
The #Giants are to the Washington 40 …
10 seconds left.
Need 10 yards for a manageable field goal.
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) December 4, 2022
On comes Graham Gano for a 58-yard FG attempt
— Charlotte Carroll (@charlottecrrll) December 4, 2022
Graham Gano 58 yards for the win as time expired in OT. A 20-20 tie.
