Four takeaways from the Commanders’ 20-20 tie with the Giants

The Washington Commanders tied the New York Giants, 20-20, to head into their bye week with a 7-5-1 record. Here are four takeaways from the game.

Taylor Heinicke comes through in the clutch: With Washington trailing 20-13 and less than four minutes remaining in regulation, Heinicke led an eight-play, 90-yard touchdown drive. The march wouldn’t have been possible without Heinicke’s heroics on fourth and four from the Washington 27-yard line. Facing pressure from both sides, he scrambled to his left before uncorking a throw across his body that Curtis Samuel caught for a 20-yard gain.
