The 12-2 Eagles hope to clinch the NFC East and at least the No. 2 seed in the conference with a sweep of Washington Sunday.
PHILADELPHIA - Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels has taken the NFL by storm as the No. 2 overall pick, elevating the Commanders from a punchline to the precipice of the playoffs.
Daniels’ performance was so uncharacteristic that many believed a rib injury affected the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner’s performance. He finished 22 of 32 for 191 yards with a touchdown and interception but looked indecisive more often than not. Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury confirmed the tentative point but expanded it to the entire offense.
Whether you consider that an excuse or an explanation from Kingsbury, it was a short week for an inexperienced quarterback who hasn't handled that before.
