Jayden Daniels NFL debut went much better than I predicted, behind a patchwork offensive line missing both starting offensive tackles. He looked calm, cool and collected in leading the Commanders down the field for a touchdown on the opening drive of the game.
After the first drive, the excitement level dropped off significantly, as both offenses sputtered a bit as different players were given opportunities to show themselves. Overall, it was a relatively successful opening game for new head coach Dan Quinn. He was able to evaluate a lot of his young guys in their first real game action, and no significant injuries were reported.
