PFT and the Gambling Cave sweat Commanders past Giants

Big Cat, PFT and the Barstool Chicago crew took the Cave couches for Washington at New York. The game was still 0-0 early in the 2nd quarter, so the chat went looking for something to do.

Commanders slander? PFT isn’t pretending his team is good, but they’re not the worst either. @raisingcanes

The whole bit is that nobody on the couch will own up to being Gerald. PFT's defense of his team was about as modest as it gets: the Commanders aren't good, they just aren't the worst. That's the bar for a fan base whose quarterback ended up throwing 2 interceptions on the night.

Washington led 10-7 at the half. When New York scored in the 2nd half, the Commanders answered right away with an Antonio Williams touchdown, which happened to be the anytime-TD PFT had told Jerry to take. Calling your own guy to score is about as good as a sweat gets.

Then it nearly fell apart. Washington was up 17-14 going into the 4th, but the Giants went back in front 21-17 with under 4 minutes to play, and for a while it looked like PFT's season was ending on a Thursday in New Jersey.

Jayden Daniels didn't let it end there. He hit Stefon Diggs for a 32-yard touchdown with 57 seconds left. J.J. McCarthy's last drive for the Giants ended with a Rasul Douglas interception, and that sealed the 24-21 win. In the Cave, it was a full-on exorcism.

The Commanders hold on and defeat the Giants "WE'RE NOT DEAD" - @PFTCommenter

PFT didn't waste any time. Overnight, Pardon My Take put out a new episode with Dan Orlovsky that led with the Commanders season staying alive, plus Week 10 picks and a Fyre Fest segment. In the morning, PFT posted his own pitch for it, and he chose his words carefully.

'Commanders back technically' is the right call. Washington is 3-5-1 and New York is 5-3-1, but the Commanders now hold the tiebreaker over the Giants, so a team the chat had written off is still hanging around the NFC East. The next 2 things to watch are whether the Manders can win 2 in a row and whether anyone ever admits to being Gerald.
