Jayden Daniels’ NFL debut hints at promise and peril

New York Times  

TAMPA, Fla. – Being a veteran, Zach Ertz has perspective. “The last play don’t matter, no matter if it’s a touchdown, interception, incompletion, it doesn’t matter,” said Daniels, who went 17 of 24 for 184 yards, with two rushing TDs, in his NFL debut. “You’ve got to be able to have a short-term memory and focus on the next play.” Daniels’ first NFL pass technically wasn’t a pass at all; he looked to find running back Brian Robinson Jr. out of the backfield, but threw the ball behind his target, making it a lateral — and a live ball. I think he’s going to make an even bigger jump next week.” Here’s what can’t happen, though, going forward: Daniels being both the Commanders’ leading rusher in attempts and yards in a game. Mayfield missed two wide-open guys for walk-in touchdowns in the first quarter; he didn’t miss much of anything the rest of the day, going 24 of 30 for 289 yards and four touchdowns.
