The New York Giants fell to the Washington Commanders, 27-22, on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium. It was Washington's first regular season sweep of the Giants since 2021.

The loss drops Big Blue to 2-7 on the season and likely triggers them being sellers at Tuesday's NFL trading deadline. It also further warms the seat for general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, who are likely to survive the season but start on a short leash next year.

Here's a look at the best and worst performers, courtesy of PFF, from the Week 9 loss.
