Twitter reacts to Commanders’ prime-time loss to the Giants

The NFC East is back. Time will tell if that’s permanent or only a mirage, as all four teams are currently over .500 and hold four of the NFC’s seven playoff spots.

The Washington Commanders came into Sunday night’s duel with the New York Giants as a 4.5-point favorite and in the No. 6 position in the NFC. However, the Giants walked away with the win, moving the Commanders down to the No. 7 spot.

While Washington still controls its destiny, the schedule looks daunting with a trip to San Francisco next week and home against the Cowboys in Week 18.

The Commanders blew opportunity after opportunity in Sunday’s loss. Rookie Brian Robinson Jr. rushed for 89 yards, averaging over 7 seven yards per attempt, while quarterback Taylor Heinicke had two fumbles. Washington’s defense failed to deliver critical stops and the officiating was horrendous.

What was social media during and after the Washington loss?

Here are some of the top reactions from Sunday’s game.
