Commanders at Giants Ends in Dramatic OT Tie

Graham Gano's 58-yard field goal try to win the game was no good, and Washington and New York ends in a 20-20 tie.

Taylor Heinicke was the QB of record for Washington, and his teammates clearly drew inspiration from him ... and from his TD passes to McLaurin and Dotson.

Oddly, the Commanders were the only team in the NFL without an OT victory since 2015 ...

Washington was 7-5, the Giants 7-4.

And now? 

The Commanders are 7-5-1. The Giants are 7-4-1. New York hosts the Eagles next week, Commanders are on a bye. And then we'll do this all over again - these two same teams - at FedEx Field.

Both clubs hope to keep up the NFC East chase, with the Eagles and Cowboys above them in the standings.

ROSTER BUILDING IN SUMMER ... By 4 p.m. today, the Washington Commanders roster will be reduced to just 53 players as the team prepares for the season.

In less than two weeks' time, the group of 53 will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in the season opener.

Most of the slots on the roster are solidified by the veterans on the team, but there are several rookies and young players fighting for a spot on the Commanders ... and their fate will be determined today.

Among the team's biggest position battles include the backup running back job, defensive line and offensive line.

Will Brian Robinson's sudden and incredibly unfortunate gun shot wounds keep him off the roster to begin the season? Could that open up a spot on the team for a player like second-year pro Jaret Patterson?

Chase Young moving to the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List could open up a spot on the defensive line. Which lucky bubble player will earn that open spot?

And which players will form the offensive line? There's been a competitive battle between those on the second and third teams, but how many backup linemen will head coach Ron Rivera keep on the team to start the season?

The tight end group has also dealt with many injuries throughout training camp. Which players will end up on Injured Reserve and which lucky few will be able to join the team at the start of the season?

Stick with Commander Country throughout the day as we update who's in and who's out ...
