Overview

  • Daniels left in the third quarter after Andrew Van Ginkel intercepted his pass and Isaiah Rodgers blocked him, sending him to the turf on his previously dislocated left elbow.
  • Washington listed Daniels as questionable to return; he did not re-enter after going 9-of-20 for 78 yards with an interception.
  • Marcus Mariota replaced Daniels and threw an interception on his first drive as the Commanders failed to score.
  • The defeat dropped Washington to 3-10 and eliminated the team from playoff contention.
  • Tight end Zach Ertz exited with a knee injury and was carted off, with early reports citing team fear of an ACL tear pending tests.
