Breaking down each sack the Saints got on Daniels
Sack 1
Situation: Second quarter, 14:36 remaining, 1st & 10 on Washington 37.
Analysis: The Commanders attempt to get to a play-action shot with a lot of misdirection in the backfield. Tight end John Bates sifts back across the line at the snap while receiver Jamison Crowder uses his tight alignment to loop around the back of Jayden Daniels in what’s often known as a ghost or orbit motion. This is all misdirection to grab the attention of the defense while Terry McLaurin runs a deep corner-post route and Dyami Brown runs a high cross underneath it.
