The NFL season continues in Week 15 when the New York Giants host the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Start time, how to watch, stream and NFL TV schedule.
The Giants have not played since losing 33-15 at New England on Dec. 1, though their late bye week gave quarterback Dart a chance to reset and interim coach Mike Kafka an opportunity to evaluate a team he took over on Nov. 10 after the team fired Brian Daboll.
New York Giants fans experienced a similar situation in Week 15. After taking a big hit, rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart needed to briefly leave the contest against the Washington Commanders to be evaluated for a concussion. It marked the fifth time in 10 games that Dart has entered the blue tent on the sideline this season.
The New York Giants got a scare in the fourth quarter when Jaxson Dart exited the game after taking a hit from two Washington Commanders defenders. Dart was able to return a few plays later, but it prompted more questions about how the Giants and interim coach Mike Kafka are protecting their franchise quarterback.
So this result goes into the books as a Commanders' victory, 29-21, allows them to sweep the season series and guarantees the Giants a losing record in the division. They are 1-4 against the NFC East and 2-12 overall, having dropped eight games in a row.
Evan Neal showed up to the stadium the day before or the morning of a game and learned each time whether he would be active for the New York Giants if a jersey was hanging at his locker. Neal is almost certainly leaving as a free agent this spring for a much-needed change of scenery — but not before a surprising plot twist.

Five Commanders with new injuries from Giants game
Tight end depth was already thin with Zach Ertz going to IR after tearing his ACL last week. John Bates and Ben Sinnott are the next up for a lead role, but Colson Yankoff has been fighting for playing time, while being a core special teams player. He left the game in the 3rd quarter, and was questionable to return.
New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka isn’t worried about tomorrow, next week, or next year. Instead, he is locked in on finding ways to snap the Giants’ eight-game losing streak and letting the chips fall where they may.
