"Washington wasn't particularly sound in any facet of the game against the Bears, let alone well enough to prevail. Ertz made sure to remind everyone that Daniels' special dual-threat ability single-handedly kept the Commanders within striking distance of Chicago. "We have no chance being in that game without Jayden [Daniels]," in the wake of falling short to the Bears (h/t Ethan Cadeaux of Monumental Sports Network)."
""The plays he made with his legs, the plays he made with his arm. The only reason we were in the game and in a position to win was Jayden Daniels." Ertz recognized that Daniels will "ultimately put a lot on himself in the wins and losses" as the captain of the locker room. Nevertheless, the veteran tight end repeatedly stated that despite a couple of glaring blunders, the Commanders were doomed versus Chicago sans the latter."
Jayden Daniels committed multiple costly mistakes in Washington's 25-24 Monday Night Football loss to the Chicago Bears, including a first-quarter near-red zone interception and two fumbles, one of which was lost on a late botched handoff that sealed the defeat. Daniels accepted responsibility and criticized his own performance while also producing several positive plays with both his arm and legs that kept the Commanders competitive. Tight end Zach Ertz defended Daniels, saying Daniels' dual-threat play was the only reason Washington remained in contention. The loss dropped Washington to 3-3 amid broader team inconsistencies.
