There were heroes, zeros and a flurry of runs in the Giants' 21-18 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
hero
Kicker Austin Seibert, who signed earlier this week, made 7 of 7 field goal attempts, including a 30-yard game-winning shot in the final seconds of the game.
zero
General manager Joe Sean, head coach Brian Daboll, kicker Graham Gano and punter Jamie Gillan were all involved in the Giants' decision to use an injured Gano without insurance, leading to Gano further injury and Gillan missing the PAT, leaving them without a reliable kicker.
The Giants lost by about six points.
Unknown Hero
Brian Robinson rushed 17 times for 133 yards, tearing apart a Giants defense that was meant to focus on stopping the run. The Commanders gained 215 yards on the ground.
Key Statistics
0: The Giants defense stops.
The Commanders scored a field goal on all seven of their true possessions (except for a kneel-down at the end of the first half) and held the ball for 37 minutes, 32 seconds.
