John Harbaugh’s Giants Are Contenders, Even With a Tie in Washington

The Giants lead the NFC East after they and the Commanders produced the NFL season’s first tie. LANDOVER, Md. — The Giants had an overtime fiasco on a rain-soaked Sunday at Northwest Stadium. The Commanders one-upped them with an even more egregious overtime fiasco. The result was the first tie of this NFL season. The Giants tightened their grip on first place in the NFC East as their investments in coach John Harbaugh and backup quarterback Jameis Winston continue to pay off—just not quite as handsomely as would have been the case with a win.
