With Daniels back under center, the Commanders intend to seize an early advantage.
On the opening series, Daniels connected twice with tight end Chig Okonkwo, advancing 34 yards, then hand‑off to Jacory Croskey‑Merritt who burst 33 yards for a touchdown, putting Washington ahead 6‑0 within two minutes. For my money, Daniels’ poise signals a potent offense.
Kicker Drew Stevens failed the PAT, leaving the tally unchanged as the Giants prepare their first drive.
After missing two games due to a dislocated left elbow, Daniels returns wearing a brace, yet it didn’t slow him on the opening possession. Will his brace hold up through the season?
