WATCH: Ben Sinnott scores TD just before halftime on TNF vs Giants

In a rough first half, the Washington Commanders managed to secure a 10-7 halftime lead against the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football. Tight end Ben Sinnott played a crucial role, returning after starting tight end Chig Okonkwo had to leave with a back injury. Although Sinnott had only made one catch all season prior to this game, he made a significant impact in the final drive of the first half.

Sinnott scored a 12-yard catch that put the Commanders in the red zone, displaying a remarkable hurdle. This can be viewed on the NFL's official social media. Shortly after, running back Rachaad White brought the team down to the one-yard line. On first and goal, the Commanders attempted to run the ball into the end zone with quarterback Jayden Daniels, but the Giants managed to stop him short.

On second down, Daniels threw an inaccurate pass to Stefon Diggs, setting up third and goal. It was on this crucial play that Daniels stepped back and found Sinnott in the end zone for his first touchdown of the season. A highlight reel of Sinnott's touchdown can be found on the Washington Commanders' official social media. With this score, the Commanders took the lead going into halftime.

The game represents an opportunity for redemption for the Commanders, who suffered an embarrassing tie against the Giants earlier in the year.
