"Jayden Daniels wasn't healthy enough to participate in Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs to conclude Week 8. The quarterback's presence was once again sorely missed as the Washington Commanders were left counting the cost of failed opportunities en route to yet another blowout loss. Questions are being raised about this project's current direction. Head coach Dan Quinn's squad was expected to go deep into the playoffs again."
"The ex-Dallas Cowboys signal-caller cheekily called out Daniels by claiming that he was having a lot of fun for someone whose team was down two scores. It was a cheap shot, unnecessary and bitter in equal measure. Criticizing the No. 2 pick in 2024 with a veiled swipe at his personality in such a laughable way was a bad look, and it completely overlooked the way Washington's franchise player goes about his business."
"He's the same no matter what. Daniels could be down two scores and playing, and his demeanor wouldn't change. He's always playing or watching football with a smile on his face. He's always trying to uplift his teammates, and they willingly follow his lead. This is matched by the poise, precision, and composure to come through in the most significant moments."
Jayden Daniels missed Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs due to health issues, leaving the Washington Commanders short-handed in a blowout loss. The team started well but faded in the second half, exposing recurring injuries and persistent flaws that have left the squad at 3-5 under head coach Dan Quinn. Daniels attended the game and maintained his usual upbeat demeanor, prompting a critical remark from analyst Troy Aikman. The criticism was framed as a cheap shot that overlooked Daniels' leadership, consistent positivity, rookie surge, and the poise, precision, and composure that helped drive the franchise to the NFC Championship game.
