Washington (10-5) can clinch a spot with one more win. The Commanders next play Dec. 28 against the Atlanta Falcons (8-7).
For Daniels, Sunday’s performance was a continuation of big plays and even bigger moments. He threw three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter alone.
Already this season he completed a 52-yard Hail Mary to beat the Chicago Bears; he threw two touchdown passes in the final four minutes against Dallas that would have resulted in a tie had Washington made the second extra point. In a win over Cincinnati in Week 3, Daniels threw a touchdown pass with less than four minutes left to clinch a win.
