The Washington Commanders are flying high right now after getting a Week 3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. For his part, NBA legend and former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson got real about what the team changed to get the victory over the Joe Burrow-led team.
In a striking Monday Night Football performance, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels led the Washington Commanders to a 38-33 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Daniels, the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, showcased his skills by completing 21 of 23 passes for 254 yards, setting a rookie record with a completion percentage of 91.3%. He threw two touchdown passes and added a rushing touchdown, proving his dual-threat capability.
The Commanders jumped out to an early lead, scoring touchdowns on their first four drives, which built a 28-13 advantage by the third quarter. Despite the Bengals’ efforts to rally—highlighted by Joe Burrow connecting with Ja’Marr Chase for two touchdowns—Daniels sealed the win with a 27-yard touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin late in the game.
This win marks a significant moment for Washington, who have been searching for a franchise quarterback for years. With Daniels at the helm, the Commanders are showing promise, improving to 2-1 on the season. The Bengals, however, are struggling, dropping to 0-3 and facing mounting pressure as they attempt to turn their season around.
