If the Commanders’ rookie quarterback seems especially poised, that’s by design. His father drilled it into him at an early age.

Blough started five games for the Lions from 2019 to 2021 and then was on their practice squad last season before transitioning to coaching.

The rookie QB has made an impression on some of the team's most respected players of the past and restored hope to a starved franchise.

James Jones dives into what a Washington Commanders' upset win over the Detroit Lions would mean for Jayden Daniels.

Daniels has connected with McLaurin 77 times for 1,033 yards and 13 TDs, and that relationship blossoming on and off the field is a big reason the Commanders are in the postseason and advanced to the divisional round to face NFC-leading Detroit on Saturday night.

Jayden Daniels wore a bandage over the face gash he earned during a wild card win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but plans to "keep fighting" for the Washington Commanders, who snapped a 19-year playoff win drought.

Daniels threw two touchdown passes to lead the Commanders to a 23-20 win at Tampa Bay on Sunday night, joining Russell Wilson (2012), Mark Sanchez (2009) and Joe Flacco (2008) as the only rookie quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era to win a road playoff start.
