Daniels appeared to be back to his early season form as he led a multi-faceted run-heavy offensive attack against the Tennessee Titans. His offense scored 4 touchdowns in the first half and put up 42 points for the game. Two other potential scoring drives ended with missed field goals, and the Commanders took their foot off the gas offensively in the latter part of the fourth quarter as Kliff Kingsbury repeatedly called the number of RB Chris Rodriguez in order to run out the clock in a dominating 42-19 win.

Jayden Daniels had impressive stats for the game, completing 83% of his passes for 206 yards, 3 touchdowns and an interception.

As a runner, Daniels, who came into this game as Washington’s leading rusher, added 34 yards and another touchdown.

Daniels’ 4 total touchdowns were a personal career high for the young QB.

After thirteen weeks, the Commanders have the 4th-highest scoring offense in the league, having put up 376 points (28.9 points per game). The team is solidly in second place in the NFC East, and is currently positioned for the 7th seed in the NFC playoffs.

These impressive achievements, coming in a rebuilding year in which the entire franchise was stripped down and rebuilt in a matter of months, are largely attributable to the high level of play and professionalism of Washington’s rookie quarterback, who is having an incredible season.

Kyle Brandt: We need people to see Jayden Daniels; he is the best thing going right now – the coolest, most fun, most astonishing thing. The best show, right now! It’s not the Vikings; it’s not the Chiefs – it is the Commanders offense, and the Commanders as a whole, and I have never said that in my life.
