Quick Summary

NFL insider Adam Schefter expects consequences for the Washington Commanders following their controversial tie against an unnamed opponent in a game that ended on Sunday. During overtime, the Commanders had possession but failed to attempt a potential winning field goal from 42 yards out due to poor clock management by coach Dan Quinn and quarterback Jayden Daniels. Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan called it "the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen" and suggested Quinn could face repercussions similar to those experienced after Super Bowl LI when he was the Falcons' defensive coordinator.

Story summary

On October 9, 2026, the Washington Commanders tied the New York Giants at 27-27 in a rain-soaked game at Northwest Stadium. The Commanders had a chance to win with under two minutes left but failed to manage the clock effectively, leading to time expiring without an attempt at a field goal. This mishap followed a fumble by Cam Skattebo of the Giants earlier in overtime that gave the Commanders possession near their own end zone. Despite criticism from players like Micah Parsons and coach Dan Quinn's frustration, quarterback Jayden Daniels took personal responsibility for the clock management error during post-game interviews. The tie left the Commanders with a 1-3-1 record heading into further games. Note: This summary is based on multiple reports and analyses of the game events and subsequent reactions from players and coaches.

Narrative

On Monday’s edition of “Get Up,” Schefter compared the mistake by Dan Quinn and the Commanders that led to a 27-27 tie in overtime to the aftermath of the Miracle at the Meadowlands — the infamous Giants fumble against the Eagles in 1978 that cost offensive coordinator Bob Gibson his job the following morning and head coach John McVay his job at the end of the season. “There were consequences, and we don’t know when it’ll be, but I would imagine in time there’s going to be consequences from this game,” Schefter said.
