Jayden Daniels’ Electrifying One-Series Touchdown—What Happens Next Will Shock You!

Jayden Daniels finally stepped onto the field Monday night, making his preseason debut—and though his time was brief, he certainly made it count. On a swift, four-play, 74-yard march where passing was scarce, Daniels dashed for an electrifying 14-yard touchdown that had Coach Dan Quinn both relieved and thrilled. Watching him narrowly avoid a hard tackle from Bengals’ safety Jordan Battle was nail-biting, to say the least. The Commanders leaned heavily on their ground game in that drive, with Deebo Samuel setting the tone on a nifty 19-yard end-around, followed by Chris Rodriguez’s impressive 40-yard burst and short gain to set up Daniels’ scoring run. If you recall, Daniels wasn’t just any rookie—he racked up 891 rushing yards and six touchdowns last season. Interestingly, Daniels and Samuel had been rested during the team’s preseason opener, joining a sizable group of 30 players held back last week. After Daniels’ stint, Josh Johnson took over the helm, with Jacory Croskey-Merritt adding a 27-yard touchdown run to boost the Commanders’ lead to 14-7. Meanwhile, the Commanders, amid moves involving running back Brian Robinson, showcased a stout rushing attack with 106 yards after just two possessions. LEARN MORE
