Giants:
The Washington Football Team scored a dramatic divisional win on “Thurs Night Football,” as they defeated the New York Giants 30-29. Taylor Heinicke overcame a fourth-quarter interception to lead Washington on a game-winning drive — setting Dustin Hopkins up for a 43-yard field goal.
Ron Rivera and his staff knew they didn’t have to stress about losing starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick for 6-8 weeks with a hip injury, because they had a special backup waiting in the wings in Heinicke. He completed 34 of 46 passes for 336 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in his second-ever regular-season start.
