Giants back in control of playoff destiny following Washington loss

The Washington Football Team lost to the Seattle Seahawks, 20-15, on Sunday afternoon to drop their record to 6-8 on the season. A Giants victory over the Browns would raise their record to 6-8 and lift them back into first place in the NFC East.

The Giants swept their series with Washington this year, defeating them 20-10 in Week 6 and 23-20 in Week 9, to secure the head-to-head tiebreaker.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys (4-9) lead the San Francisco 49ers, 24-24, with under 2:30 to play.
