While the Giants lost a heartbreaker on Monday night to the Buccaneers, they’ve played their best game of the year despite the losing effort and continue to progress in the right direction on a weekly basis.
The one-win Giants will look to make it two facing a Washington club on the road, who are coming off a blowout victory over the Cowboys preceding their Week 8 bye.
This is a game that features NFC East and playoff implications, as ugly as that sounds as the loser can likely pack it in for the rest of the way.

Giants-Football Team Players to Watch
Giants QB Daniel Jones plays some of his best football against Washington. In three career games, Jones has thrown for 689 yards with seven touchdowns and two interceptions. Jones has also rushed for at least 33 yards in 2-of-3 games against them, including going for 74 yards on the ground back in Week 6.
While Jones has not gotten off to the greatest start this season, he’s picked up the pace since that Week 6 win over the Football team. In his past three games, Jones has passed for at least 112 yards with a touchdown, while rushing for at least 74 yards in two of the three outings. He’s also thrown for at least two touchdowns in back-to-back games, the first time he’s accomplished that feat since Weeks 10 and 12 of last season.
Jones is a perfect 3-0 against the Football Team in his three career starts.
Washington WR Terry McLaurin is one of the premier young wideouts in the NFL. He is also the Football Team’s best offensive weapon by a mile.
If Washington is going to win their second consecutive game this week against the Giants, McLaurin must be an intricate part of the game plan.
In two career games against New York, McLaurin has caught at least seven passes for 74 yards in each outing. What’s most impressive is the fact that McLaurin went for his 7/74/0 line on 12 targets back in Week 6’s loss while facing James Bradberry in coverage.
Outside of James Washington back in the season opener, McLaurin had the best game against Bradberry this season in terms of receptions (seven) and yards (77). Bradberry has been one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL in 2020 and is one of the bright spots on the Giants’ defense.
