Jayden Daniels continues to improve every week, and he had his best game yet on Monday night in an upset win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Neither team punted or turned the ball over in an absolutely fun game to watch. His performance has earned him his first NFC Offensive Player of the Week award.
Jayden Daniels was 21 of 23(91.3%) for 254 yards and two touchdowns on Monday night. He set the rookie completion percentage record, and had his second game in a row that saw the Washington Commanders score on every(non-kneeldown) drive, and kept Tress Way on the sidelines. Daniels also had 39 yards on the ground, adding another touchdown to his great night. He won Rookie of the Week in Week 1, and has been nominated every week of his rookie season.
