  • Daniels went 15-of-26 for 231 yards with a touchdown and added 39 rushing yards after missing two games with a left knee sprain.
  • Washington’s defense sacked Justin Herbert five times, held him to 166 passing yards, and flipped momentum with a key second-quarter takeaway.
  • Rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed for 111 yards on 14 carries with two touchdowns in a breakout performance.
  • Head coach Dan Quinn lauded Daniels’ “X factor” on third and fourth downs, pointing to smart choices to create or throw the ball away.
  • The victory delivered Washington’s first road win of 2025 and a 3-2 record, and one outlet reported a unique 4,000-passing/1,000-rushing milestone for Daniels that remains lightly verified.
