CINCINNATI (AP) — Jayden Daniels stood in the pocket against an all-out blitz, took a hit from Bengals safety Geno Stone and launched a perfect ball toward Terry McLaurin in the corner of the end zone. McLaurin hauled it in and kept both feet in bounds while being tackled.
In his third NFL game and first in prime time, Daniels couldn’t miss.
The No. 2 overall draft pick threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score in a remarkably efficient performance, and the Commanders stunned Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals 38-33 on Monday night.
“He's a real cool customer, and he's got a real poise about him,” Washington coach Dan Quinn said of his quarterback.
