The tie will feel like a missed chance for both clubs, as Washington got a boost from Jayden Daniels’ return but could not convert a late opportunity into a victory. New York showed resilience by engineering a lengthy go-ahead drive late in the fourth quarter to force overtime and salvage a result. Special teams were a notable factor with multiple long field goals keeping the score close. Both teams will leave this game with work to do, but the late performances from Daniels and Nabers stood out as defining moments.
