GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jayden Daniels threw for 233 yards and a touchdown and ran for a score in his desert return, and the Washington Commanders extended their winning streak to three with a 42-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Daniels — the No. 2 overall pick last spring — became the fourth quarterback in the Super Bowl era to run for four touchdowns in his first four career games, joining Cam Newton, Robert Griffin III and Anthony Richardson. Daniels also completed 26 of 30 passes and has an absurd 82% completion percentage in his short career, to help Washington improve to 3-1. Daniels played in college for three seasons at Arizona State before transferring to LSU, where he won the Heisman in 2023. Arizona is 1-3.
