Jameis Winston Earns Solid QB Grade After Giants Tie vs Commanders

In what ended up being one of the weirdest endings to a game in recent memory, the New York Giants tied with the Washington Commanders this past weekend.

The entire game was a back-and-forth contest, with New York coming back from being down two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The Giants had a chance to win the game in overtime, but a costly fumble in field goal range cost them.

Thankfully for New York, the Commanders use of clock management was poor, ending the game in a tie. Neither team did enough to win the game, and now both will move forward with the tie in the standings.

For the Giants, the team has to be impressed with how the group responded after going down two scores, being able to force overtime. But the costly fumble will haunt this team, losing them a chance to move to 4-1 on the season.

New York's offense picked things up after a slow start to the game, with quarterback Jameis Winston putting together a nice outing. For the game, Winston finished by throwing for 326 yards and three touchdowns, giving the team a legitimate chance to come out on top against Washington.

Due to his performance, NFL analyst Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report gave the veteran quarterback a letter grade of "B" for the game. Winston had the offense in complete control in the second half, giving the Giants a chance to win.

It wasn't his fault that New York ended in a tie, but the offense was slow to get going in the first half. Winston has slowed started to get more into a rhythm within the Giants offense, looking more comfortable as the weeks go forward.

New York believes that he can help them make the playoffs after starter Jaxson Dart went out with a season-ending injury. Winston's career has seen all sorts of ups and downs, but he can sling the football all around the field.

The Giants will need to do a better job at starting fast, not putting themselves behind the right ball as much. But the fight and will of this team were impressive, and it's something that they can take with them moving forward.

Next up for Winston and company will be the team hosting the New Orleans Saints. New York will try for a better showing, looking to grab its fourth win of the season.
