NFL News: Austin Seibert’s 7 field goals lift Commanders over Giants

Add to Favorite

Austin Seibert kicked a team-record seven field goals, including the game-winner from 30 yards out as time expired, giving the host Washington Commanders a 21-18 win over the New York Giants on Sunday in Landover, Md.

Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards and directed the game-winning drive, which covered 65 yards in the final 2:04.

Brian Robinson added a career-high 133 yards on 17 carries as Washington (1-1) snapped an NFL-high nine-game losing streak that dated to last season.

Seibert, who has kicked for four other NFL teams and was signed early last week, made all seven of his field goal tries. The previous Washington record in a game was five field goals, accomplished by five different kickers. The NFL record is eight by Tennessee’s Rob Bironas against Houston in 2007.

Daniel Jones, who entered with a 5-1-1 record against Washington, completed 16 of 28 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns as the Giants fell to 0-2.

Giants rookie Malik Nabers had 10 receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. But Nabers dropped a pass on a fourth-down play with 2:04 left, which gave the Commanders their final possession.

Daniels responded with a 34-yard strike across the middle to Noah Brown. Daniels later set up the game-winning boot with a 14-yard scramble to the Giants’ 10.

The Giants trailed 15-12 early in the fourth quarter before Jones directed a 13-play, 70-yard drive, which he capped with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Wan’Dale Robinson on a third-and-goal play that put New York up 18-15 with 11:32 left. The two-point conversion pass failed.

Washington responded by driving to the Giants’ 6. But after two false start calls against the Commanders, they opted for a 33-yard field goal by Seibert, which tied it 18-all with 7:12 left.

Washington dominated possession throughout, holding the ball for 37:32 compared to 22:28 for New York. But the Commanders committed false start penalties that forced them to settle for four field goals.

New York was hampered by the loss of veteran kicker Graham Gano, who entered the game on the injured list and was hurt on the opening kickoff. He was helped off the field and didn’t return.

Giants punter Jamie Gillan attempted one extra point, but it was wide, and New York went for two-point conversion attempts after their second and third touchdowns, failing both times.

Devin Singletary rushed 16 times for 95 yards, including a touchdown late in the first half to put the Giants up 12-9 at the break.
