Magic Johnson drops disappointed reaction to Commanders’ brutal loss vs. Giants
Owner Magic Johnson took notice of the Washington Commanders’ sloppy 14-7 loss to the New York Giants in Week 7.
Johnson expressed his disappointment over the Commanders’ loss on social media.
“Disappointing 14-7 loss for my Commanders to the NY Giants. It’s hard to win in the NFL when you only score 7 points,” Magic Johnson tweeted on Sunday.
Prior to the game, the Giants hadn’t scored a touchdown in more than 200 game minutes. New York quarterback Tyrod Taylor finally ended that dubious streak with two touchdown passes in the second quarter. Taylor filled in for starter Daniel Jones, who missed his second straight game with an injured neck.
One of Taylor’s two second-quarter passes was to running back Saquon Barkley. The latter expressed his desire to remain in New York amid swirling trade rumors prior to the October 31 deadline.
As for the Commanders, they didn’t score until Brian Robinson, Jr. ran the ball four yards into the end zone early in the third quarter. They never scored again.
The Commanders had a chance to tie the game in the waning moments after Barkley lost a fumble in the red zone. Unfortunately, Washington couldn’t capitalize as Jahan Dotson couldn’t handle a pass from quarterback Sam Howell on fourth down.
