Washington Commanders vs. New York Giants GAMEDAY: How to Watch, Betting Odds
The Washington Commanders are back in action this afternoon against the New York Giants.
As we approach the halfway point of the season Washington finds itself two games behind Philadelphia while the Giants are a distant last in the division at 1-5.
“We may be 1-5, but it’s a long season ahead of us and we've lost only one divisional game,” Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke said. "So it's just getting that urgency, it’s not wholesale changes. It’s just doing the little things even better. If we can get a win in our back pocket, we can start rolling.”
New York made the playoffs last season at 9-7-1, and had aspirations of a return trip this year. Those chances are diminishing, as just three teams since 1970 have made the postseason after beginning the year with a 1-5 mark.

The Giants played the most complete game defensively last week in a 14-9 loss to the Buffalo Bills last week, while the Commanders beat the Falcons 24-16, ending a three-game losing streak.
Despite their record, Commanders coach Ron Rivera isn't overlooking the Giants.
“I think that’s probably the biggest one more than anything else,” he said. "It’s a divisional game and you’re going to play against your divisional rivals a little better. At least I believe you typically should because you know them a little bit more. Because of that, I think that’s what really brings the game to being pretty evenly matched.”
Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones is expected to miss a second straight game after suffering a neck injury against the Dolphins in Week 5. Tyrod Taylor will get the nod under center.
