Jayden Daniels battled back from two fourth-quarter interceptions to connect with Stefon Diggs on a game-winning 32-yard touchdown in the final minute to stun the New York Giants 24-21 on Thursday.

The Giants were unable to move the football following Daniels' fourth-quarter interceptions, going three-and-out on both ensuing drives.

Commanders cornerback Rasul Douglas clinched the victory with a late interception off quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who had given the Giants the lead midway through the fourth quarter with a 66-yard connection to Isaiah Likely.

The potential season-saving victory moves the now 3-5-1 Commanders closer to catching the 5-3-1 Giants in the NFC East. Thursday's matchup was the first meeting between the two rivals since their Week 5 tie.
