Jayden Daniels announced himself on the big stage with a breathtaking display as the Washington Commanders pulled off a shock 38-32 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night.
The Bengals were hoping to take their first win of the season on home turf after losses to the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs, but rookie quarterback Daniels had other ideas.
On a night which saw him outshine opposite number Joe Burrow, the 23-year-old completed 21 of his 23 passes for 254 passing yards and 40 rushing yards while throwing two touchdowns. He also added a rushing touchdown in a remarkable coming-of-age performance just three games into his NFL career.
The pick of the bunch came right at the death when, as the Commanders looked to close out their upset win, Daniels helped them do exactly that by picking out Terry McLaurin with a sensational 27-yard touchdown pass.
