Commanders lead Giants 21-7 at halftime

The Commanders didn’t score a touchdown in their first game against the Giants, but this time there are no such issues.

Jayden Daniels threw a one-yard touchdown in the first quarter and Austin Ekeler ran for a one-yard score in the second quarter, putting the Commanders up 14-7. They ended the half with a red zone drive and were able to push the lead to 21-7 on Terry McLaurin’s second touchdown catch of the half.

Ekeler converted a fourth-and-1 on that drive and the Commanders are now 11-of-11 in that situation so far this season. He has 10 carries for 40 yards after being given a starring role while Brian Robinson was inactive due to a hamstring injury.

McLaurin has just two catches and two targets, but the outcome of those throws means no one will complain about his workload. Daniels is 9 of 11 for 113 yards and he has added 21 yards on the ground.

The Giants had a touchdown drive that took almost 10 minutes and they ran for 142 yards, but Daniel Jones lost a fumble and has zero yards on four completions, so they haven’t been able to do anything else to put points on the board .
