‘I’ve never seen anything like this for a rookie’ – Jayden Daniels does something only one other player has ever accomplished
Daniels has slayed Goliath. The Washington Commanders are going to the NFC championship for the first time since 1991 after taking down the Detroit Lions 45-31 at Ford Field on Saturday night. Daniels has led the Commanders to their first conference championship appearance in 33 yearsGetty Jayden Daniels becomes only the second rookie quarterback ever to win 14 games in his first year, including the postseason. The only other player to do that? Two-time Super Bowl champion Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers quarterback lost in the AFC championship his rookie year, so Daniels will now be looking to do something no one has ever done. And that’s be the first rookie quarterback to make the Super Bowl. There’s no reason Daniels can’t do it. He is on an all-time heater. The first year quarterback has taken down Baker Mayfield and the third seed Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and now he’s just defeated arguably the best team in the NFL on their turf. Daniels is only the fourth rookie quarterback to win multiple playoff games in NFL history, joining Joe Flacco (2008 with Baltimore), Brock Purdy (2022 with San Francisco) and Mark Sanchez (2009 with the New York Jets). This is a team that only had four wins last year. A disappointing end to an otherwise fantastic season for the LionsGetty Daniels and the Commanders will now be going for their 15th next weekend. They will wait to see if they will be traveling to Philadelphia or Los Angeles next Sunday. That’s still undecided. But what is decided, is that Daniels is the truth. NFL insider Jordan Schultz posted on X that an NFL general manager reached out to him and had this to say on Daniels: ‘Text from an NFL GM: “Jayden Daniels is already the most poised quarterback in the entire NFC. I’ve never seen anything like this for a rookie.’
