We have a battle of rookie quarterbacks tonight as Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders host Michael Penix and the Atlanta Falcons. Both of these teams are fighting for their playoff lives, and this game could determine which one gets to play post-season football.
Daniels has been a revelation for Washington, helping to lift them from incompetence to a team that can play with anyone. They’ve earned the 10-5 record they’re carrying into this game, and they’ll be a problem for years to come.
The Falcons, meanwhile, are looking to build off of Penix’s promising NFL debut last week against the New York Giants.
