Jayden Daniels earned the first victory of his NFL career on Sunday as the Washington Commanders defeated the New York Giants by the final score of 21-18.

Washington secured the victory on a 30-yard field goal by Austin Seibert as the clock ran out in the fourth quarter.

Daniels finished 23-of-29 for 226 yards without recording a touchdown or an interception. Even though he was sacked five times, he was still able to pick up 44 rush yards on 10 attempts and lead the Commanders on a game-winning drive with just over two minutes remaining in regulation.

Fans were amazed with his performance.

The Giants fell to 0-2 following the loss, while the Commanders moved to 1-1.
