In just the second game of the rebuild, the new look Commanders defeated the New York Giants 21-18 on a last-second field goal, propelling them from last to first place in the NFC East division.
It may surprise Commanders fans to learn that winning the second game following a total franchise reset puts the team ahead of the pace set by the 2017 49ers and 2021 Lions in their first seasons under new management.
A lot was made about the inability of the Commanders' offense to find the endzone. However, it's noteworthy that the team scored on each of their 7 possessions, a rare feat in NFL history.
Jayden Daniels took a step forward in his second outing, completing 23 of 29 attempts for 226 yards, with an impressive average time to throw of 2.84 seconds against the Giants.
