The New York Giants host the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium tonight in a Week 10 Thursday Night Football meeting between the NFC East rivals, with kick-off at 8:15pm ET on Amazon Prime Video.

The sides last met on 11 October, when their game ended in a controversial 27-27 tie after a botched final play by Washington in overtime. Coach Dan Quinn and quarterback Jayden Daniels both faced criticism for their game management after the Commanders let the final seconds tick away without attempting a potential game-winning field goal.

Since then the two teams have headed in opposite directions. The Giants have won two of their three games since the tie and sit top of the NFC East, two games clear of the Dallas Cowboys. Last week they beat the Philadelphia Eagles 19-11, although quarterback J.J. McCarthy's status for tonight is uncertain after he played through an injury in that game.

Commanders running out of time

Washington, by contrast, are in danger of seeing their season slip away. The Commanders lost to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9 and are 2-7 for the season, and they probably need a win tonight to keep their faint play-off hopes alive. Daniels has a 1-8-1 record in his past ten starts dating back to last season, and Quinn's name continues to appear on lists of coaches under pressure around the league.

Tonight's game is the ninth of 16 Thursday night fixtures scheduled for Amazon Prime Video this season. The Giants, at 5-2-1, will expect their home crowd to give them an edge in a rivalry game that has already produced one dramatic finish this season, and Washington know another slip would leave their campaign in serious trouble.
