"Jayden Daniels, who did that last year, is at home after a season in which Washington won only five games, and he couldn't stay on the field. Both Maye's New England Patriots and Nix's Denver Broncos advanced. Williams' Chicago Bears took the Los Angeles Rams to overtime, before former Commanders safety Kamren Curl came through with a crucial interception in the clutch. Between those three teams, there was a consistent theme that underscores just how impressive Daniels' heroics a year ago were."
"Williams threw three interceptions, including the killer in overtime. All of them still had a chance to win the game. Two of the three cases did. Contrast that with Daniels last year, when he had to lead his offense to 38 points (seven were from a Quan Martin pick-six) to punch the Commanders' ticket to the NFC Championship. Despite the Detroit Lions turning the ball over five times, Washington's defense gave up 31 points in that contest."
Several rookie quarterbacks from Jayden Daniels' class played in the divisional round, and three produced imperfect performances while still competing late. Drake Maye, Caleb Williams, and Bo Nix each made notable mistakes yet two of the three teams advanced. Jayden Daniels finished the previous season at home after Washington won only five games and could not remain on the field. Daniels had to lead Washington to 38 points in the playoff win, despite a pick-six and a defense that gave up 31 points. Daniels required near-flawless play repeatedly to keep the Commanders competitive during his rookie year.
