The Washington Football Team looks to get back to their winning ways on Thursday night, as they play host to the NFC East rival New York Giants. Both teams lost their season openers on Sunday, but a win over a divisional opponent on a short week could jump-start the season for whoever comes away victorious tonight.
All eyes will be on the quarterbacks in this matchup. With Ryan Fitzpatrick out for the foreseeable future with a hip injury, in steps Taylor Heinicke — whom Washington is very confident in. On the other side is third-year quarterback Daniel Jones, who has been tasked with proving he’s the right candidate to escort this franchise into the future. Incredibly, Jones has won all four of his starts against Washington while he has gone 4-19 against all other teams. “Danny Dimes” has to feel confident facing off against a familiar opponent, but his first Landover loss is very possible due to Washington’s stingy defense.
Follow along in the live blog below, as we will break down all the action as it happens. This could be a fun defensive matchup! Strap in.
