Washington's promising rookie QB rushed for 88 yards in his NFL debut and flashed his 'special' talent despite loss to Buccaneers.
TAMPA, Fla. — The NFL debut of Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was disappointing to the extent that Washington took a 37-20 loss to the Buccaneers, but the game still offered a promising glimpse of how electric a playmaker the rookie quarterback will be. 'I grade myself hard,' Daniels said after the game. 'We didn't win. I'm a competitor. I like to win, but overall, it went well, pretty well.
Washington struggled to move the ball consistently Sunday, going 2-for-8 on third downs. He barely connected with his receivers, completing a total of seven passes for 55 yards, getting just 17 from top receiver Terry McLaurin. On the opening play of the second half, when Washington was still only down 16-7, Daniels took a rare deep shot down the left sideline, and while McLaurin had a step on Bucs corner Jamel Dean, Daniels had a little too much air on the throw and missed him incomplete.
