It’s the New York Giants vs Washington Commanders tonight in an NFC East showdown at FedEx Field in Summerfield, Maryland. The NFC East is the only division currently with all 4 teams above .500.
Live coverage begins at 7:00 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock with Football Night in America. See below for additional information on how to watch tonight’s game.
New York Giants
Daniel Jones and the New York Giants (7-5-1) are coming off a blowout 48-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles–who clinched a playoff spot–last Sunday afternoon. The Giants are still in playoff position and sit in the 7th and final spot thanks to the team’s 6-1 start early in the season. However, they have gone 1-4-1 in their last 6 games under first-year head coach Brian Daboll who spent the last four seasons (2018-21) as the Bills’ offensive coordinator. The Giants, who have not had a head coach last more than two seasons since Tom Coughlin’s retirement after the 2015 season, look to make their first playoff appearance since 2016.

Washington Commanders
Taylor Heinicke and the Washington Commanders (7-5-1) were on a bye in Week 14 but most recently tied the Giants 20-20 in their Week 13 matchup at MetLife Stadium. Washington had a slow 1-4 start early in the season but has managed to go 6-1-1 over their last 8 games, with Heinicke starting 7 of those. The 29-year-old who is on his 5th NFL team, took over in Week 7 after Carson Wentz sustained a fractured finger and has gone 5-1-1 as Washington’s starting quarterback this season. The Commanders have not made the playoffs since 2020 and currently sit in the 6th playoff spot.
The winner of Sunday night’s game will earn the head-to-head advantage over their division rival if both teams finish with the same record.
