Nothing can stop the Giants from their destiny of starting every season with two straight losses.
Not a rare turnover-free and aggressive game from Daniel Jones.
Not facing a backup quarterback who tried to give away the win.
Not even a gift from the football gods.
The Giants celebrated Washington’s missed field goal as time expired Thursday night, but defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence was penalized for being offside on the snap and kicker Dustin Hopkins was given a second chance. Hopkins split the uprights from 43 yards on his do-over, and the Giants suffered the worst-imaginable, 30-29, loss at FedEx Field.
“We are not going to put this loss on any one player or situation,” coach Joe Judge said.
The Giants’ five-game winning streak against Washington was snapped. Jones fell to 4-1 in the series (4-19 against all other opponents) despite just his sixth career turnover-free game. He has 40 turnovers in 29 games.
