"The Giants had the ball trailing 13-7 and looking to score, but Washington forced a three-and-out before Lane returned the punt to the house. It got even better on New York's next series. Jaxson Dart drove his across midfield and fired a pass in the direction of wide receiver Jalin Hyatt at the Washington 20-yard line. Sainristil jumped in front of it to not only secure the pick but also return it nearly all the way to the opposite red zone."
"Sainristil's interception was his fourth of the season, more than the rest of the team has recorded in 2025 (three). He additionally leads the team in pass breakups with nine. Of course, Sainristil's season has also had plenty of lowlights. He's been picked on in pass coverage and given up far too many big plays. The downside of the Michigan product was exposed again in Week 15, as Wan'Dale Robinson beat him for a touchdown in the fourth quarter."
Mike Sainristil remained a polarizing presence, delivering both an interception return to near the opposite red zone and allowing a fourth-quarter touchdown. Washington ended an eight-game losing streak with contributions from young players, including a punt-return touchdown by Jaylin Lane, a near-100-yard game and score from Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and a late play by Ben Sinnott. Sainristil leads the team with four interceptions and nine pass breakups but has also been targeted and beaten for big plays. He has improved since moving to outside cornerback after injuries but continues to show inconsistency in coverage.
