When the Commanders drafted Jayden Daniels with the second overall pick last April, the hope was that he'd help the team go back to being a contender in the NFC in the years to come. That hope was misguided because it only took a few months for Daniels to change the fortunes of the franchise.

The outstanding performance of Jayden Daniels in the Washington Commanders' victory over the Detroit Lions left HC Dan Quinn with nothing but praise for his star player. The Washington Commanders find themselves in an unbeatable position after years of fighting from the bottom.

The Washington Commanders had nothing to lose when they walked into Ford Field on Saturday night. Washington played loose and got a huge win against Detroit, stunning the No. 1 seed in the NFC in a 45-31 victory.
