Rating the Rookies: QB Jayden Daniels heaves another miracle, only for his kicker to fail him

Jayden Daniels authored another miracle Sunday.

Then his kicker missed the extra point.

The Commanders rookie threw an 86-yard touchdown on a catch-and-run by Terry McLaurin with 21 seconds to play and his team trailing the Cowboys by seven. Austin Seibert then missed the extra point, forcing the Commanders to try an onside kick that was returned by the Cowboys for a touchdown seven seconds later.

The Commanders lost by eight, a far less joyous outcome than they had at their home stadium a month ago, when the No. 2 overall pick heaved a Hail Mary to beat the Bears.
