Detroit made a huge statement in Week 18 with their beatdown of the Minnesota Vikings, but the Commanders have something the Vikings don’t; a mobile quarterback in the form of Jayden Daniels.

Ryan Clark had an extremely bold take on ESPN's Get Up about the Commanders rookie QB ahead of the NFC Divisional round vs. Lions.

Thirteen former LSU football players, including Heisman Trophy quarterback Jayden Daniels, remain in the NFL Playoffs following wild card weekend.

Welcome to the NFL playoffs. I'm not the biggest fan of the expanded playoff structure, but I think this wild-card slate will be fun. I'm glad Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos will get a shot at the Buffalo Bills,

Daniels threw two touchdown passes to lead the Commanders to a 23-20 win at Tampa Bay on Sunday night, joining Russell Wilson (2012), Mark Sanchez (2009) and Joe Flacco (2008) as the only rookie quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era to win a road playoff start.

It’s clear that Jayden Daniels is establishing himself as an elite quarterback after leading the Washington Commanders to their first playoff win since 2005.

The NFL Playoffs are underway, and we are down to our final eight teams. After an action-packed Wild Card Round, the eight remaining teams play this weekend before four are eliminated, and we move to the Conference Championship week.
