The Washington Commanders overpowered the Arizona Cardinals with a commanding 42-14 victory, marking their first 3-1 start since 2011. Jayden Daniels, the precocious rookie quarterback and No. 2 overall draft pick, dazzled with both his arm and legs, throwing for 233 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for a score, earning him a place next to NFL legends like Cam Newton. The Commanders' balanced offense, supplemented by standout performances from Brian Robinson Jr. and Jeremy McNichols on the ground, consistently found success against Arizona's defense. Daniels demonstrated his poise in the pocket and accuracy, completing 26 of 30 passes.
Arizona initially seized an early lead with Kyler Murray connecting with Marvin Harrison Jr., but the Cardinals struggled the rest of the afternoon as Washington's defense, led by Bobby Wagner and Dorance Armstrong, stifled any comeback attempts with relentless pressure and forced turnovers. The Cardinals' offense, which had been potent leading up to the game, was held to 296 total yards, with Murray subdued to only 142 passing yards. A strong defensive effort and time-of-possession advantage enabled Washington to maintain control throughout, leading to a decisive and impressive victory as they set their sights on future opponents.
