Ja'Marr Chase on Jayden Daniels: 'He's a great effing player'

Sometimes, you just have to tip your hat to the opposition. And in this case, it was Cincinnati Bengals (0-3) star wideout Ja’Marr Chase giving praise to Washington Commanders (2-1) rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels after he put on an incredible performance in Washington’s 38-33 Week 3 road victory on Monday Night Football.

“He’s a great effing player,” Chase said after the game. “I’m not gonna lie. That was my first time sitting down and watching him besides the spring game. He’s a very outstanding player.”

Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick out of LSU, diced up the Bengals to the tune of 21-of-23 for 254 yards and two touchdowns. He added 12 carries for 39 yards and a score. His 91% completion rate is the highest for a rookie quarterback in a single game in NFL history. The Commanders found the end zone on their first four possessions of the game, Daniels showing a complete command of the offense.

Jayden Daniels puts on incredible performance on Monday Night Football

With 9:54 remaining in the third quarter, Daniels found backup offensive tackle Trent Scott for his first career touchdown pass. That will be the first of many for Daniels and proved to be the first of two on the night.

His second came on Washington’s final offensive drive, finding wideout Terry McLaurin for a 27-yard score on a go route. Third-and-7 at a time where the Commanders were up by just five, a throw like that took guts. Daniels took a hit as he let it go but stood tall in the pocket and delivered a perfect ball to McLaurin for the game-winning score.

“I think he grew up tonight,” McLaurin said. “I’m so excited for him because now as a rookie, once you see those throws, you get more confidence. And I think his confidence is just going through the roof right now.”
