Commanders out to quick 6-0 lead in Jayden Daniels's return

The Washington Commanders jumped out to an early lead in Jayden Daniels’s return from injury, establishing a 6-0 advantage against the New York Giants within the first two minutes of play. Daniels, who missed two games after dislocating his left elbow, showed no signs of lingering issues, connecting with tight end Chig Okonkwo for two receptions totaling 34 yards on the opening drive.

The Commanders’ offensive momentum culminated in a 33-yard touchdown run by Jacory Croskey-Merritt, though kicker Drew Stevens’s missed extra point kept the score at 6-0 heading into New York’s first possession. Daniels’s brace on his injured arm appeared to have no impact on his performance during the quick-scoring sequence.
