No. 1 in the 30-second version
Giants fall 21-24 to Commanders after a late touchdown drive and a disputed DPI penalty.
John Harbaugh said the failed third-and-1 quarterback sneak by Jameis Winston was a normal sneak and not a Tush Push. Harbaugh said he would not have tried the delay-of-game trick on the fourth-and-1 play again. CBS Sports reported Giants players criticized the DPI penalty, and ESPN said New York's division lead is shrinking.

Giants coach John Harbaugh says Cam Skattebo was not supposed to push on Jameis Winston's sneak.
Harbaugh said the play was a quarterback sneak, not a tush push, and that a called check meant Skattebo was not supposed to be pushing Winston. Harbaugh also said he knew Winston's 'Who let the dogs out?' pre-snap cadence was part of the plan to draw an offside call from the defense.
