Austin Seibert kicked a team-record seven field goals, including the game-winner from 30 yards out as time expired, giving the host Washington Commanders a 21-18 win over the New York Giants on Sunday in Landover, Md. Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards and directed the game-winning drive, which covered 65 yards in the final 2:04. Brian Robinson added a career-high 133 yards on 17 carries as Washington (1-1) snapped an NFL-high nine-game losing streak which dated to last season.
Seibert, who has kicked for four other NFL teams and was signed early last week, made all seven of his field goal tries. The previous Washington record in a game was five field goals, accomplished by five different kickers. The NFL record is eight by Tennessee's Rob Bironas against Houston in 2007.
Daniel Jones, who entered with a 5-1-1 record against Washington, completed 16 of 18 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns as the Giants fell to 0-2. Giants rookie Malik Nabers had 10 receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. But Nabers dropped a pass on a fourth-down play with 2:04 left which gave the Commanders their final possession.
Daniels responded with a 34-yard strike across the middle to Noah Brown. Daniels later set up the game-winning boot with a 14-yard scramble to the Giants' 10. The Giants trailed 15-12 early in the fourth quarter before Jones directed a 13-play, 70-yard drive, which he capped with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Wan'Dale Robinson on a third-a.
