Commanders improve to 1-1 despite their offense getting off to a bit of a false start

The second game of Jayden Daniels’ NFL career delivered his first victory as quarterback of the Washington Commanders. “Luckily, those are things that we can control, so we can get that corrected,” said running back Austin Ekeler, one of more than 30 new players on Washington’s 53-man roster. We can’t be doing this to ourselves, especially in the red zone.” The Commanders, who are 1-1 going into a matchup at 0-2 Cincinnati next Monday night, reached the 20-yard line seven times Sunday against the New York Giants and could not crack the end zone. “That’s what I expected out of myself,” said Brown, who had 115 receptions for 1,547 yards and five touchdowns in his first six pro seasons with the Cowboys and Texans. “I am a professional, and I’ve been in this league for a while and when my number is called, I try to execute.” Stock down Terry McLaurin will bust out for a big game soon, but for all the offseason talk of Washington’s top receiver being Daniels’ favorite option in the passing game, it has not played out that way so far.
