Last week, the Washington Commanders got manhandled by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by a score of 37-20. Baker Mayfield and the Bucs offense looked like they didn’t miss a step following the departure of former offensive coordinator Dave Canales for the Carolina Panthers’ head coaching job.
However, Washington’s offensive showing was better than the score would indicate. Rookie QB Jayden Daniels made his air debut to the tune of 184 passing yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. On the ground, though, he managed 88 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 16 rushing attempts.
