Star rookie QB’s team at a crossroads after latest loss

PHILADELPHIA — Jayden Daniels’ first prime-time appearance was one for the history books and highlight reels. Playing on “Monday Night Football” in Week 3, the Washington Commanders rookie quarterback lit up the Cincinnati Bengals in a 38-33 victory, the declaration of a rising star in the NFL. 

His next time playing under the lights did not lead to the same level of hype, as the Commanders fell to the Philadelphia Eagles 26-18 on Thursday. Daniels finished 22-for-32 with 191 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception. But his rating of 81.6 and the 6.0 yards per attempt he averaged were more indicative of his – and the entire Commanders’ offense – night against the Eagles.
