The Giants and Commanders game at FedEx Field was a good day for the road team, but it turned out badly for both squads once the game was over.
After the New York Giants defeated the Washington Commanders, 31-19, on Sunday, the players returned to the locker rooms to find there was no hot water for them to shower.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, neither team was able to take a post-game shower as the team said that an “equipment failure” caused the water in both locker rooms at FedEx Field to be shut off.
“We had an equipment failure in the main water heater that provides hot water to the field-level locker rooms,” the team’s statement said. “We can’t resolve the matter without completely shutting off the water to the stadium, which is why it couldn’t be repaired in game.”
Aside from the lack of hot water, the Giants pulled off a stunning 31-19 upset win over the Commanders, improving New York to 3-8 and dropping Washington to 4-7.
