Jayden Daniels and the offense stalling have the Commanders on a three-game losing streak
Associated Press— Allowing two kickoff return touchdowns and missing an extra point all in the final few minutes added up to the Washington Commanders losing a third consecutive game in excruciating fashion. An offense led by dynamic rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels that was among the NFL’s best for a long stretch of the season put up just nine points and 169 yards for the first three-plus quarters against Dallas before falling behind 20-9 and teeing off on the Cowboys’ conservative defense. “We just couldn’t really get it going,” said receiver Terry McLaurin, whose lengthy touchdown with 21 seconds left masked that he had just three catches for 16 yards through three quarters. “We’ve got to find a way to start faster and sustain drives, and that’s everybody: the whole coaching staff and the offensive players just going out there and figuring out ways that we can stay on the field.” This is not a new problem for Washington, which had a season-low 242 yards in a Nov. 10 home loss to Pittsburgh and 264 yards four days later in a defeat at Philadelphia. But it means a lot to me to be here with these guys, so I just want to put my best foot moving forward.” Injuries Robinson’s sprained ankle and fellow running back Austin Ekeler’s concussion from a late kickoff return that led to him being hospitalized for further evaluation are two major immediate concerns.
