Jayden Daniels was sacked 8 times, and the Commanders rookie QB shoulders some of the blame

Associated Press  

Playing on turf in the Superdome is the only thing that kept Jayden Daniels’ white jersey clean throughout the Washington Commanders’ game Sunday at New Orleans. “When is that balance, that razor-thin line of staying aggressive to scramble and go like you saw Jayden do some down in the red zone compared to this is a throwaway and move on to the next down, and we’re still growing through that,” coach Dan Quinn said on a video call with reporters Monday. “When there’s less attention going to you, that is a sign that you’ve had a really good game,” Quinn said. “Less on the stat sheet from the passing game standpoint, that is a clear signal of a really good game.” Lattimore’s presence alone helped rookie Mike Sainristil break up a couple of passes and pick up his second career interception.
