Thursday Night Football Live Updates, Tv Channel, Start Time, Where To Watch Nfl Game Tonight

Just like that, we turn the page to the second half of the 206 NFL regular season. "Thursday Night Football" brings another NFC East showdown, and this one comes with plenty of unfinished business.

The New York Giants and Washington Commanders played to a wild 27-27 tie in their first meeting this season, but the most bizarre moment came in overtime. With Washington in field-goal range and a chance to win it, Jayden Daniels took a sack, and the Commanders failed to get another play off before the clock expired. A rematch hardly needs extra motivation, but that finish certainly provides it.

The Giants, meanwhile, have gone from an afterthought to the talk of the division under head coach John Harbaugh. Big Blue enters Week 10 atop the NFC East, riding a wave of momentum despite losing quarterback Jaxson Dart for the season. Now, J.J. McCarthy has stepped in, keeping the Giants' unexpected surge alive and will make his first start as a Giant in front of the home crowd at MetLife Stadium.

New York reportedly explored making a splash for a running back before the trade deadline, but no blockbuster materialized. That said, starting running back Cam Skattebo is expected back after a one-game absence and the second-year back will be eager to make his presence felt and quiet any lingering doubts. Nothing like a divisional showdown under the lights to make a statement.

Washington, meanwhile, is running out of time. At 2-5-1, the Commanders desperately need a divisional win to keep their postseason hopes breathing. Can Daniels turn the tables, or will McCarthy keep Big Blue cooking under the Thursday night lights? One thing's certain: let's hope somebody remembers how to win in overtime this time.
