QB Jayden Daniels pulled at halftime with playoff-bound Commanders playing for seeding at Cowboys

ARLINGTON, Texas — Jayden Daniels was pulled at halftime of Washington’s regular-season finale at the Dallas Cowboys, with the Commanders locked into the playoffs and headed for either the sixth or seventh seed. Marcus Mariota took over under center for the first Washington possession after halftime and quickly led the Commanders the game’s first touchdown after they had just 64 yards total offense and trailed 6-3 at the break. A victory or a Green Bay loss to Chicago would keep them there, while a loss and a Green Bay win would drop Washington to the seventh spot. The seventh seed will play in the wild-card round at NFC East champion Philadelphia, which is locked into the No.
