Yes, he finally threw an interception, his 1st of the season (and his career), but Daniels is playing lights out so far for the Commanders, and he has 3-1 Washington all alone in 1st place in the NFC East. On Monday morning on ESPN’s “Get Up,” analyst Damien Woody wasn’t shy about giving a rookie praise that’s usually reserved for a veteran.

The NFC East runs through the Washington Commanders, which is not a thought that anyone has been able to type in, well, over a decade at this point. It’s also probably not where anyone thought we’d be at this point in the season.

Washington has had a different leading receiver in each game. It was running back Austin Ekeler in Week 1, tight end Zach Ertz in Week 2 and wide receiver Terry McClaurin in Week 3. On Sunday in Arizona, Daniels connected with Olamide Zaccheaus six times for 85 yards, one of the best games of the journeyman wideout’s six-year career.
