USA TODAY Touchdown Wire on MSN2025 NFL schedule: Commanders to open the season at home vs. NFC East rivalThe two longtime NFC East rivals first met in Week 2 last year, with the Commanders winning 21-18. Kicker Austin Seibert made seven field goals for Washington. The Giants had a chance to win the game, but rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers dropped a fourth-down pass late, which could've clinched the win for New York.
Rookie Jayden Daniels notched his first NFL victory, directing a 65-yard scoring drive that ended with Seibert’s game-winning field goal as time expired. In Week 9, the Commanders beat the Giants, 27-22, at MetLife Stadium. A sack-fumble by Jones was not helpful as the Giants lost their fourth consecutive game to fall to 2-7.
AI won't count on a holiday matchup this year. Historically speaking, the Commanders haven’t played on Christmas Day in more than 20 years. The league tends to save those games for top-tier teams and playoff contenders, but given 2024's performance, we can't rule it out completely.
