The Washington Commanders have suffered another setback. Just a week after a narrow 28-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a short turnaround, they hit the road to face the Philadelphia Eagles. The star-studded NFC East rival widened the gap in the division standings with a 26-18 victory.
Washington underwent significant changes in the offseason, bringing in rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and first-year head coach Dan Quinn. Despite being new to the NFL, the LSU standout and reigning Heisman Trophy winner has delivered an impressive debut season.
Following the loss, Daniels addressed his teammates with a clear message:
At 7-4, Daniels has maintained the right mindset, knowing the Commanders still have opportunities ahead. To secure a playoff berth, they’ll need to step up and deliver key wins in the remaining games.
Daniels has been a bright spot for Washington, amassing 2,338 passing yards, 482 rushing yards, and 14 total touchdowns in 11 games. While the team is building with this newfound energy, they’re eager to translate it into success this season.
