In an impressive showdown, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels outperformed established star Joe Burrow, leading the Washington Commanders to a thrilling 38-33 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Daniels showcased extraordinary accuracy and agility, completing 21 of 23 passes for 254 yards and scoring three touchdowns. This game marked a significant moment for the Commanders, improving their record to 2-1, while the Bengals faced a worrying start at 0-3.

Despite a promising start with Burrow connecting with Ja'Marr Chase for a touchdown, the Bengals struggled defensively. They couldn't contain Daniels, who threw a spectacular touchdown to Terry McLaurin, sealing the win for Washington. The Bengals must address their issues quickly, as losses to teams perceived as underdogs place them in a precarious position this season.
