Magic Johnson Reacts to Rare Blunder by Commanders Coaches After Tie Against Giants

Magic Johnson expressed disbelief at the Washington Commanders' clock management error in the overtime game against the New York Giants.

Giants-Commanders end in wild tie after late clock mismanagement 🤯

Chris Myers and Jonathan Vilma broke down the wild finish between the Giants and Chiefs, including a late clock management error that eventually tied the game.

Washington Chiefs fans woke up Monday morning with a lingering headache from whatever happened at the end of their game against the New York Giants that ended in a tie.

Jayden Daniels accidentally ran out the clock in overtime, apparently forgetting that he had no timeouts and enough time to prepare his teammates for a potential game-winning field goal. Exacerbating the whole situation was the look of Washington's ownership.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson, who invested about 4 percent in Josh Harris' $6.05 billion purchase of the franchise in 2023, wrote about the team's loss on X. Johnson rarely takes to social media for criticism, so you know he must have been really upset about what happened Sunday afternoon in Landor, Maryland.

"I am in complete disbelief that my Chiefs were so mismanaged in today's overtime game against the Giants," he wrote. All we had to do was hit the field goal and win the game!

Johnson was the voice of Chiefs fans, at least for a moment. The team led 27-13 after Daniels' 26-yard field goal with 11:05 left in the game. Giants quarterback Jameis Winston led the team to two touchdowns to tie the game 27-27.

Now, if Giants rookie Dominik Zwada hits one of his three missed field goals, we might not be having the same conversation we're having now.

However, Chiefs head coach Dan Quinn took the blame for the miscalculation at the end of the game.

"The sequence is not on (Daniels)," Quinn said. "It's an outside throw or a clock — an out of bounds throw, or a clock. It's got to be me. I've got to put him in that spot. I can do it early and we can finish the punt early. We don't need to get more yards."
