Commanders Struggle as Rookie QB Jayden Daniels' Performance Dips

Despite a strong start, Washington's offense falters as Daniels recovers from lost practice time due to a rib injury.

The Washington Commanders have slipped to a 7-4 record after consecutive losses to the Steelers and Eagles, jeopardizing their playoff position.
Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who was a standout early in the season, has seen a decline in performance following a rib injury sustained in Week 7.
Head Coach Dan Quinn asserts that Daniels is not currently injured but acknowledges that missed practice time has impacted his rhythm and timing.
The Commanders' offensive output has decreased significantly, dropping from third in scoring to 14th over the past four games.
Upcoming games against weaker defensive teams like the Cowboys and Titans present an opportunity for Washington to regain momentum.
