By Brian Heymanbrian.heyman@newsday.combheyman99

The Giants were leading 20-13 with 3:43 left in the fourth quarter when Washington got the ball back at its own 10. The Commanders moved 90 yards in eight plays over 1:58 and forged the tie. Tyler Heinicke completed a 20-yard pass to Curtis Samuel on fourth-and-4 to keep the drive alive.
