Eagle’s Landing graduate Antonio Gibson rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown Sunday in the Washington Football Team’s season-ending 22-7 win over the New York Giants, reaching a personal milestone and helping his team snap a four-game losing streak.
Gibson averaged nearly 7 yards on his 21 carries as he became Washington’s first 1,000-yard rusher since Adrian Peterson in 2018.
