Washington was dominated by Philadelphia in the NFC championship, but it's hard not to believe this group won't be back on that stage soon.
Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, and Dan Quinn are on the verge of historic milestones as the Commanders take on the Eagles for a shot at the Super Bowl.
Once upon a time in the NFL, it was rare for a rookie quarterback to be thrown in the deep and installed as their team’s starter from day one.
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn has detailed one characteristic of Jayden Daniels that is contagious to the rest of the roster.
Daniels threw two touchdown passes to lead the Commanders to a win at Tampa Bay, becoming the fourth rookie quarterback in the SB era to win a road playoff start.
The former LSU standout, who has been turning heads all season, delivered a stellar performance. Daniels finished the game with a 122.9 passer rating. His play was highlighted by completing 22 of 31 passes for 299 passing yards, two touchdowns and zero picks.
C.J. Stroud’s stellar rookie season set a high bar for first-year quarterbacks to clear, but the Texans signal-caller told the Houston Chronicle earlier this week that Daniels has had “the best rookie season of all time”. “Records are meant to be broken,” he added.
Wilson is responsible for perhaps the most surprisingly good season for a rookie QB. A third-round pick, he wasn't even expected to be the starter heading into the season with the Seahawks having just signed Matt Flynn to a lucrative deal. But Wilson blew everyone away in training camp and won the job prior to Week 1.
When the Commanders drafted Jayden Daniels with the second overall pick last April, the hope was that he'd help the team go back to being a contender in the NFC in the years to come. That hope was misguided because it only took a few months for Daniels to change the fortunes of the franchise.
