The Washington Commanders improved to 9-5 with Sunday’s 20-19 win over the New Orleans Saints. Quarterback Jayden Daniels was phenomenal again, completing 25 of 31 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns. Daniels also led Washington with 66 rushing yards on 11 attempts.
Other than Terry McLaurin, Daniels didn’t receive a lot of help. He was sacked eight times and dealt with injuries all around him. After Sunday’s performance, Daniels furthered his case for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Despite a furious late comeback attempt, Washington held off the Saints.
Here are some of the best photos from the Week 15 battle between the Commanders and Saints.
