"Jayden Daniels is a game-changer. Washington Commanders fans got another fine example of that fact during the dynamic quarterback's long-awaited return to the lineup in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The signal-caller shook off some early rust to put together another accomplished display. Daniels led the Commanders to 27 unanswered points to ensure his California homecoming went according to plan. And the No. 2 pick in 2024 shut down all his pre-game doubters with one subtle swipe immediately after the contest."
"Daniels had missed the last two games with a knee sprain. The Commanders were cautious, and he was forced to wear a brace. It didn't take long to realize that the knee brace wouldn't impact Daniels' performance levels. He was electrifying, making big plays with his arm and legs. His pre-snap command was right on point, and he got the Commanders over the line with minimal fuss."
"Daniels had heard all the chatter. But in the end, he let his football do the talking. "It means a lot. First game back to be in my hometown. You can't write a better story. I dreamt of moments like this. You all tell me. How did the knee look?""
