"Daniels was out to make an early statement against the New York Giants. A sold-out crowd at Northwest Stadium was expecting to see great things from the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. When offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury switched to a no-huddle offense on the second drive, they got it. This plays to Daniels' strengths. He's a quick processor who does everything well. He's in complete control under center, and the added experience of Kingsbury's schematic concepts served him well."
"Daniels recognized pressure quickly and escaped the pocket. He kept his eyes downfield and delivered a strike. The veteran wide receiver had some problems with drops in the preseason, but he made this chance count. The Commanders got into the red zone, and Daniels looked for veteran tight end Zach Ertz. The laser he delivered was nothing short of exceptional, and the Pro Bowler duly obliged to open the scoring."
Jayden Daniels made an early statement against the New York Giants by thriving in a Kliff Kingsbury no-huddle offense on the second drive. The no-huddle approach matched Daniels' quick processing and complete control under center, aided by Kingsbury's schematic experience. Daniels led a march downfield with contributions from Austin Ekeler but fueled the drive with poise, pocket awareness, and precision. He escaped pressure to connect on a beautiful deep ball to Chris Moore and later delivered a laser to Zach Ertz for the opening score. The drive signaled that Daniels remains an ascending dual-threat quarterback poised to continue high-level play.
