Jayden Daniels is a top player.

The rookie quarterback led the Commanders with three touchdown drives on their first three offensive plays as Washington headed into the locker room with a 21-13 lead.

Daniels is 7-of-8 for 139 yards and has a 4-yard touchdown run. One of his passes went for 55 yards to Terry McLaurin and another for 30 yards to Luke McCaffrey.

Austin Ekeler had a 24-yard touchdown run and Brian Robinson had a 1-yard touchdown run.

The difference is the Bengals’ inability to score touchdowns. Despite 236 yards, Cincinnati has only one touchdown. Ja’Marr Chase had a 41-yard touchdown catch on the Bengals’ first drive.

The Bengals’ other three drives ended on Washington’s 30, 9 and 13 yards, with Evan McPherson missing a 48-yard field goal and making attempts of 28 and 31 yards.

Joe Burrow is 14-of-19 for 157 yards and a touchdown, with Chase catching four for 80 yards and the score. Zack Moss has eight carries for 47 yards and Chase Brown has five for 34.

The Bengals lost right tackle Trent Brown to a right knee injury. He left on a cart and the team announced he would not return.
