Commanders Settle for 27-27 Tie With Giants After Overtime Clock Blunder

Summary
Washington let overtime expire at the Giants' 24-yard line with no timeouts, failing to get off a final snap in a next-score-wins situation and ending the NFL's first tie of the season.
Eight seconds remained after Jayden Daniels went down on the previous play, but the Commanders neither spiked the ball nor sent out Drew Stevens for a roughly 41-yard field-goal try.
Dan Quinn took responsibility afterward, saying the right call was to stop the clock earlier and that the final sequence should have been a spike or throwaway, not a play that left Daniels trapped.
The tie capped a chaotic finish: New York erased a 27-13 deficit on two Jameis Winston touchdown passes, then squandered a chance to win in overtime when Cam Skattebo fumbled after Dominic Zvada had already missed a 46-yarder.
New York moved to 3-1-1 and strengthened its NFC East lead, while Washington fell to 1-3-1 and faces fresh scrutiny over Quinn's game management.
