Commanders' Jayden Daniels Sets NFL Record In 27-10 Victory Over Chargers

Jayden Daniels led the Washington Commanders to a commanding 27-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, marking his return from a two-week absence due to a sprained knee. Daniels, playing near his hometown for the first time in two weeks, threw for 231 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 39 yards, despite wearing a knee brace. This win improved the Commanders' record to 3-2 and underscored Daniels' record-setting early career, as he became the first NFL player to accumulate 1,000 rushing yards and 4,000 passing yards within his first 20 games. The team's comeback was fueled by a strong defensive effort and a key turnover that shifted momentum. At just 24 years old, Daniels continues to demonstrate his dual-threat capabilities and is seen as a cornerstone for the franchise's future success in the NFC. The Commanders now prepare for a challenging Monday Night Football matchup against the Chicago Bears, with Daniels expected to be a pivotal factor in the game.
