The divisional round of the NFL playoffs featured the expected (Chiefs advancing) and the unexpected (Jayden Daniels' continued rise). Here's how it all went down this weekend.

Well, it’s January of 2025. Daniels just led the Commanders to a huge upset win over the Detroit Lions. He just, as my colleague Robert Zeglinski wrote, cemented the greatest rookie QB season in NFL history.

No rookie QB has ever lifted his team like Daniels, prompting a cross-sport comparison. Plus, Mahomes and the refs, Lamar's legacy and more.

You want to know what’s even more interesting, though? Only one team has won a road game. The Washington Commanders are in fact the only team to win a road playoff game so far and they have done so twice!

His name is Jayden Daniels: the new owner of the greatest rookie quarterback season in NFL history. There’s no other conclusion after watching Daniels sparkle like the North Star in a 45-31 upset win over the juggernaut Detroit Lions on Saturday night.

Washington Commanders reach the NFC championship game for the first time since winning the Super Bowl 33 years ago.

Washington followed its first playoff win since the 2005 season with a historic divisional upset against Detroit on the road.

Jayden Daniels received some strong words from C.J. Stroud before the Washington Commanders compete for the NFC Championship. The post C.J. Stroud Sends Message to Jayden Daniels, Commanders Ahead of NFCCG appeared first on Heavy Sports.

Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury has been mentioned as an early contender for the Cowboys’ head-coaching vacancy, but he may not want to leave Washington after his success with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.

Philadelphia players were careful not to provide any extra motivation to the rookie quarterback, who has posed a big challenge in two games already this season.
