Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels led the team to its first score of the season.
The Washington Commanders are opening their season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road. Playing a playoff team to open the season is quite a difficult task, and it'll help the team get a feel for where No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels is during his rookie season.
Daniels' first drive was a three-and-out as offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was trying to get him into rhythm. Sure, they came away from the drive empty-handed, but it gave the LSU product a feel for the game.The Commanders drove 41 yards on their second series, before Daniels led the team on a 74-yard, scoring drive when the offense rolled out for the third time. Running back Brian Robinson Jr. capped off the drive with a nine-yard score on the ground.
In the meantime, the Commanders' defense needs to slow down the Buccaneers to keep the game close, allowing Daniels time to put more points on the board and try and take a lead.Kade has been covering a wide variety of teams ranging from the NFL to the NBA and college athletics since joining Sports Illustrated's FanNation in 2022.
