Quarterbacks Jayden Daniels and Josh Allen both shined Monday night as they each led their teams to impressive victories to cap Week 3.
Daniels, the second overall pick in April’s draft, was stellar in the Washington Commanders’ thrilling 38-33 upset of the Cincinnati Bengals. He completed 21 of 23 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns.
His second touchdown was the play of the game and perhaps the night.
With the Commanders holding a slim 31-26 lead, and after having just converted a fourth down earlier in the drive, Daniels was staring down a 3rd-and-7 at the Bengals’ 27-yard line. As a pass rusher bore down on him, Daniels absorbed a hit and uncorked a perfect pass to Terry McLaurin down the right sideline. McLaurin made a diving catch in the end zone for what ended up being the game-clinching score with just over two minutes left.
