Most impressive part of Jayden Daniels’ performance in a Commanders prime-time win? Let Aaron Rodgers explain

Watching "Monday Night Football," Aaron Rodgers saw it.

En route to a prime-time upset of the Cincinnati Bengals, sure, Jayden Daniels had used his legs some to pick up 39 yards and a touchdown. But in a 38-33 Washington Commanders win, the second overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft did not primarily look to escape the pocket to advance the ball.

Daniels instead completed 21 of 23 pass attempts for 254 passing yards and two touchdowns, breaking a rookie record in the process.

Consider the four-time MVP quarterback of the New York Jets impressed.
