The Washington Commanders fell to the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 on Monday, a loss the Commanders seemingly prefer over their chaotic 20-20 tie with the Giants in Week 5.

The article explores how a scoreboard win can feel like a loss and vice versa.

Former Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy sparks a near‑miraculous comeback for the New York Giants, throwing 11‑of‑21 for 243 yards, one TD, an INT and adding 26 rushing yards after entering a 34‑10 fourth‑quarter deficit against the New Orleans Saints. His two‑point conversion narrows the loss to 34‑27 and forces the Giants to reconsider their QB depth chart. The piece also notes other Wolverine standouts this week: TE Colston Loveland (6 catches, 65 yards, TD for Chicago), RB Blake Corum (touchdown reception for L.A.), WR Nico Collins (42‑yard catch for Houston), LB Devin Bush (key fumble recovery for Chicago), and DE Kwity Paye (third sack for Las Vegas).

After not getting a carry in Week 6, Cam Skattebo could factor back into the New York Giants' running back plans with Najee Harris no longer in the mix.

Harris voiced frustration after the Giants’ loss to the New Orleans Saints, saying limited touches prevent him from finding a rhythm.

He now seeks a third team after four 1,000‑yard seasons in Pittsburgh.

In the Giants’ 34‑27 loss to the Saints, wide receiver Charlie Jones sparked a comeback with two catches for 66 yards, including a 49‑yard gain, but also fumbled a kickoff that gave New Orleans the ball at New York’s 28‑yard line. The article argues the team should separate his offensive contributions from special‑teams duties, weighing alternatives like Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Deonte Banks, who have comparable return averages but also ball‑security concerns.

His standout play sparks optimism for a secondary that has lacked consistent playmakers, and could make him a key piece moving forward.
