Midway through Washington’s road game at Baltimore, broadcaster Tony Romo declared that the game featured two MVPs — Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, a two-time most valuable player, and his Commanders counterpart, Jayden Daniels, whom Romo labeled a future winner.
Daniels, the Commanders’ rookie sensation, threw for 269 yards with two touchdowns and no turnovers Sunday, continuing one of the most prolific starts to a career by a rookie quarterback in history. He may very well be the league’s future. But in the present, it was Jackson, aided by running back Derrick Henry, who had enough to win one of the season’s most anticipated games, 30-23.
