Did Giants beat Commanders? Final score of NFL 'Thursday Night Football' game last night - USA Today

Hopefully you didn't go to bed early.

If you did, well, you missed quite the finish on "Thursday Night Football" between the Washington Commanders and New York Giants. A first-half snooze fest quickly picked up in the second half as the teams traded blows in another tightly contested NFC East battle.

With the Commanders fighting for their playoff lives, it came down to the wire once again. It wasn't an unfamiliar spot for the visitors, who've faced that situation more than enough this season. Except this time, they were trying to flip the script.

That was never going to be easy against the Giants, who have been able to win the close games since John Harbaugh took over as head coach.

So did J.J. McCarthy or Jayden Daniels get the last laugh under the bright lights of "Thursday Night Football" at MetLife Stadium?

The Washington Commanders won the Week 10 "Thursday Night Football" game against the New York Giants.

In a back and forth affair, it was the road team that left with a 24-21 victory in a game they had to win. Stefon Diggs scored the game-winning touchdown with under a minute to go and McCarthy tossed an interception to Rasul Douglas on the ensuing Giants' drive.

The Commanders' season would've been on life support with a loss, putting them four games back of the Giants without owning the tiebreaker.

Instead the Commanders now own the tiebreaker and are just two games behind the NFC East-leading Giants.
