Giants defense bails out offense after lackluster performance vs. Washington
New York is still in contention in the NFC East
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The New York Giants’ defense bailed out the offense after another lackluster performance against the Washington Football Team on Sunday.
The Giants defense forced Washington quarterback Kyle Allen to fumble the ball in the fourth quarter. Tae Crowder picked it up and returned the ball to the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown.

Daniel Jones was 12-for-19 with 112 passing yards and a touchdown pass to Darius Slayton in the first quarter. But Jones had another brutal interception to Kendall Fuller in the red zone.

Jones had a nice run earlier in the game. He scampered for a 49-yard run and even fooled the broadcast cameras. He finished with 74 rushing yards.
Only one Giants player had more than two catches. Kaden Smith had three catches for 15 yards.
