In a dominant performance, the Washington Commanders topped the New York Giants 35-10 in Week 5 of the 2026 season. This victory solidifies Washington's position in the league, showcasing their offensive prowess and defensive strength against a struggling Giants squad. Quarterback Jayden Daniels was the star of the night, throwing for 257 yards and three touchdowns while also contributing 37 rushing yards. His ability to command the offense helped the Commanders build an early lead that the Giants could never overcome. Despite a standout performance from Malik Nabers, who racked up 166 receiving yards for New York, the Giants' offense struggled to find the end zone. On the defensive side, Leo Chenal was a force, leading the team with five total tackles and three sacks, disrupting the Giants' rhythm throughout the game. The turning point came in the second quarter when Trey Amos intercepted a pass, setting up another touchdown for Washington that stretched their lead to three scores. The Commanders' defense consistently pressured the Giants, ensuring they could never mount a serious comeback.
