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.

Hell of a game for Jayden Daniels.

Al Galdi @AlGaldi

Jayden Daniels was terrific. Accurate, clutch & tough.
Brian Robinson Jr. & Austin Ekeler combined for the best game by Washington RBs in years.
Austin Seibert!
Red-zone inefficiency, the offensive line’s penalties & the defense were the negatives.
But great to get a win.

Jayden Daniels found a nice rhythm in the second half. Much more confident downfield with throws layered all over his tape — a sign of what’s to come as he gets his feet wet.
Also, Washington’s usage of pony personnel with Robinson & Ekeler with Daniels’ legs will be a threat…

For the Giants, Daniel Jones was able to bounce back after a dismal Week 1 performance. Jones completed 57.1 percent of his throws for 178 yards and two touchdowns without recording a turnover.

New York suffered a costly injury to start the game, as kicker Graham Gano was hurt on the opening kickoff. Gano was a late addition to the Giants’ injury report on Saturday with a groin issue, but he wasn’t listed with a game status and was expected to be available (h/t Paul Schwartz of the New York Post).

This led to multiple failed fourth-down attempts and two-point conversions, as head coach Brian Daboll didn’t trust punter Jamie Gillian following a missed extra point from him in the first quarter.

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