Week 3 for the Washington Commanders in the 2024 NFL season will forever be known as the Jayden Daniels breakout game. 

For the Cincinnati Bengals, they’re simply at a loss for words, as they’re now 0-3 on the season after being upset, 38-33, at home by Daniels & Co. 

The Commanders are now 2-1 on the season, and a lot of it has to do with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft putting on an absolute show on "Monday Night Football," as he threw for 254 yards with his first two career passing touchdowns on 21-of-23 through the air.

And as he’s done earlier this season, Daniels was able to find the end zone with his legs as well. The biggest highlight of the night, though, came on the Commanders’ final drive, as the league got to see just what Daniels was made of. 

On 4th-and-four from the Cincinnati 39-yard line, Daniels did not want to get off the field, and he was calling to his offensive coordinator, Kliff Kingsbury, to get a play in his helmet so he could set up his offense. At the time, the Commanders held only a 31-26 lead after Joe Burrow found Ja’Marr Chase for the second time on the night in the end zone. 

Daniels, exuding confidence, took the snap and delivered a dot to his tight end, Zach Ertz for a nine-yard game to move the chains and continue taking clock off the scoreboard.
