The New York Giants and Washington Commanders entered Week 13 knowing a loss by either side would severely hurt their playoff chances. As a result, the game was very tense from the opening whistle to the closing whistle.
Ultimately, things ended with a dud for both teams. A 58-yard Graham Gano field goal fell short in overtime, leaving Washington and New York with a 20-20 tie.
Here’s a look at how Giants Twitter reacted throughout the game.
This is the best I’ve seen the #Giants pass rush look in god knows how long. Love what adding Ojulari does. This is a really promising sign for them as the clear cut strength of this team will be the defensive front if they can make a run.

Azeez Ojulari is so valuable and seems to have made a 2nd year jump.

This is the "deep end." We'll see if the Giants can rediscover their early season form of closing out opponents.

I don’t like to see kickers miss but when I do, it is against the Giants. pic.twitter.com/C0JRbA2CfL

That would be sack No. 6 for #Giants IDL Dexter Lawrence. Previous career-high was 4.0, which he had in 2020. Really strong year for Lawrence.

Feliciano ran through Washington players and flexed to Slayton, not to the Commanders. https://t.co/ltHCUNFh9y

Daniel Jones sacked on 3rd down.
Second half offense has been a disaster.

Nick McCloud has been great today. Should’ve been OPI on Dotson.

Azeez Ojulari just wrecked Heinecke on the incompletion on third down.
Here's fourth down for Washington.

Azeez Ojulari AGAIN with the QB hit on 3rd down. Dude is ballin
— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) December 4, 2022
Heck of a play by Heinecke on that fourth down. Threw it to a spot just perfectly. And the chains move.

Love Nick Gates but my man just got completely obliterated on that run…

What a huge stand for the #Giants defense. They'll get the ball back. Washington is sending the punt team on.
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) December 4, 2022
Insane stop by the #Giants defense to force the punt…unreal play by Flott to slow down that screen

Brian Daboll, on 4th and 3 at the Commanders' 45, isn't going for it, isn't kicking a FG ….
He's taking a delay of game and punting …
Did you guys know Jake Fromm is on the Commanders?

Kayvon Thibodeaux with his second career sack

A tie is a very good result for both the Commanders and Giants in this situation. They should be working toward this in a play or two.
— James Kratch (@JamesKratch) December 4, 2022
I can’t believe Heinecke held on to that
— Bobby Skinner (@BobbySkinner_) December 4, 2022
Oh my. Kayvon Thibodeaux just destroyed Heinicke . Nearly a walk-off safety. He's down at the one.

The #Giants are to the Washington 40 …
10 seconds left.
Need 10 yards for a manageable field goal.
