12/16/24 | Jayden Daniels was sacked 8 times, and the Commanders rookie QB shoulders some of the blame. Playing on turf in the Superdome is the only thing that kept Jayden Daniels' white jersey clean throughout the Washington Commanders' game Sunday at New Orleans. The rookie quarterback got sacked a season-high eight times in the 20-19 victory, and it was less a product of breakdowns along the offensive line as much as growing pains for Daniels. "When is that balance, that razor-thin line of staying aggressive to scramble and go like you saw Jayden do some down in the red zone compared to this is a throwaway and move on to the next down, and we're still growing through that," coach Dan Quinn said on a video call with reporters Monday. Daniels also ran 11 times for 66 yards and was Washington's leading rusher against the Saints. Source: https://www.ksl.com/article/51212316/jayden-daniel... |

12/14/24 | It's a 'homecoming' for Jayden Daniels and Marshon Lattimore when the Commanders visit the Saints. The last time Jayden Daniels played in the Superdome, he was making his LSU debut — and starting a second chapter in his college career that would culminate with him winning the Heisman Trophy one year ago. The last time Marshon Lattimore played in the NFL, he was wearing a New Orleans Saints uniform in what turned out to be his final game with the team that drafted him 11th overall in 2017. Both are expected to be back in the dome Sunday with the contending Washington Commanders (8-5), who'll try to vanquish the recently resurgent Saints (5-8). “I'm excited to go back and be able to play in the state of Louisiana again,” said Daniels, who had a chance to attend some Saints home games during the two falls he spent in Baton Rouge, about an 80-mile drive up the Mississippi River from New Orleans.
