Momentum in the NFC East hangs in the balance on “Thursday Night Football.” The Washington Commanders built a 10-7 lead in the first half of the NFL’s Week 10 opener, giving the first-place New York Giants work to do over the next 30 minutes as they aim to pad their division lead.
Weather was a factor pregame and even forced fans to clear the seating bowl, but the game kicked off as scheduled and saw no disruptions in a low-scoring first half at a chilly MetLife Stadium.
Cam Skattebo put bookends on the first half for the New York offense. The battering ram of a running back tallied 26 scrimmage yards with a pair of successful runs and a 3-yard reception on the game’s opening possession and notched the first touchdown of the night with 2:35 to play in the second quarter. The Giants’ 16-play, 72-yard march to the end zone chewed up 7:48 of game time and was the best display of offense in the first two quarters.
Washington responded with its longest drive and a touchdown of its own when Jayden Daniels completed a scoring pass to tight end Ben Sinnott with five seconds to play. Outside of those two scoring drives at the end of the half, offense has been hard to come by.
