Welcome to the NFL, Jayden Daniels. As the Washington Commanders manhandled the Cincinnati Bengals in every aspect of their Monday Night Football win, the rookie quarterback introduced himself in a grand way to the American stage.
Washington fans knew that he was something special. Now America does. Daniels was practically perfect in the game. He set an NFL rookie record with a mind-boggling 91.3% completion rate (with a minimum of 20 pass attempts). Daniels only threw two incomplete passes the entire game.
He did it all, throwing two touchdown passes and rushing one for one. Daniels' first NFL touchdown pass was caught by his offensive lineman Trent Scott. He also threw a beauty to Terry McLaurin for a score.
The only thing that soured the night for the Commanders was losing running back Austin Ekeler who also had a touchdown run to a concussion.
Kudos to the Commanders on a team win especially to the offensive line which looks to be one of the most solid in the NFL thus far this season.
The Commanders are 2-1 and serving notice that they are a force to reckon with. Next up is a Week 4 road game against the Arizona Cardinals.
