Commanders Edge Saints 20-19 in Thriller

In a tightly contested game, Jayden Daniels led the Washington Commanders to a narrow 20-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints, completing 25 of 31 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns. The Commanders jumped to a 17-0 lead before the Saints rallied, with Spencer Rattler throwing a last-minute touchdown that fell short on a failed two-point conversion. Daniels showcased his skills, completing 81% of his passes and rushing for 66 yards, marking his fourth game with multiple touchdowns and no turnovers. The Saints struggled offensively, with Jake Haener's debut marred by an interception and limited yardage, leading to his quick replacement by Rattler. Despite their record dropping to 5-9, the Saints showed resilience in the closing moments, while the Commanders improved to 9-5, remaining in the playoff hunt. The game highlighted Daniels' promising rookie season and set the stage for a challenging matchup against the Eagles next week.
