On Monday night, Jayden Daniels showed why the Washington Commanders believe they have found their future franchise quarterback.
The Heisman Trophy winner had the best day of his young NFL career during a 38-33 win over the Bengals in Cincinnati. Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, finished the night with two passing touchdowns and used his legs to add another score.
The former LSU standout also completed 21 of 23 passes. His 91.3% completion percentage set the league's rookie record. Washington improved to 2-1 on Monday, while the Bengals surprisingly dropped to 0-3.

Aside from Daniels' impressive stats, the Commanders-Bengals game also resulted in a rather unusual lack of involvement from either team's punting units.
SUPER BOWL CHAMP 'TIRED OF THE EXCUSES' FOR JOE BURROW: 'YOU DON'T HAVE A WIN'
According to data complied by the Elias Sports Bureau, Monday night's game marked the first time in the Super Bowl era that an NFL game ended with neither of the participating teams punting or committing a turnover.
Washington's offense was efficient throughout the game, which helped the Commanders avoid getting into situations where they had to resort to punting the ball to the opposing team.
The Commanders scored on every possession except for kneel-downs at the end of each half and have not punted or turned the ball over in their last two games.
First-year Commanders coach Dan Quinn praised the rookie quarterback after the game. "He's a real cool customer, and he’s got a real poise about him," Quinn said.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow did also have a strong showing, throwing for a season-best 324 yards and three scores. However, the Bengals simply couldn’t keep up. Cincinnati is off to its worst start since dropping its first 11 games on the way to a 2-14 finish in 2019.
