Jayden Daniels doesn’t get fazed, even when a crunching hit leaves his face bloodied. The rookie quarterback played with poise all season to lead the Washington Commanders to a dramatic eight-win improvement from 2023 and he wasn’t going to let a little blood bother him in his biggest game yet.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has had a special rookie season. He’s the heavy favorite to win Rookie of the Year. His athleticism frustrates defenses. He helped oversee an 8-win turnaround. He’s been money in crunchtime and just became the first rookie QB to win a road playoff game since 2012. To summarize: he’s a problem.

Jayden Daniels wore a bandage over the face gash he earned during a wild card win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but plans to "keep fighting" for the Washington Commanders, who snapped a 19-year playoff win drought.
