On top of that, he added 81 rushing yards, marking him as only the second quarterback in NFL history to achieve at least 250 passing yards and five touchdowns, along with at least 75 rushing yards in a single game.

The fourth quarter showcased Daniels’ talents as he lit up the scoreboard with 139 yards passing and three touchdowns, leading the Commanders to a tense 36-33 victory.
