Rookie Quarterback Shines in Commanders' Upset Victory Over Bengals; Bills Dominate Jaguars: NFL Week 3 Review
 |
| Commanders' Jayden Daniels Made NFL History During 'MNF' Win Over Bengals |
After an exhilarating NFL Sunday, Week 3 continued with more action-packed games on Monday. Teams were vying for crucial wins, and a rookie quarterback was aiming to leave his mark on the league.
Here
are the top takeaways from Monday's matches.
Jayden Daniels Shines Under the
Primetime Spotlight
Every
rookie in the NFL experiences a defining moment, and for Commander’s
quarterback Jayden Daniels, that moment came in Washington’s unexpected 38-33
win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Daniels,
the second overall pick in this year’s draft, delivered an exceptional
performance, completing 21 of 23 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns, while
also rushing for another. His 91.3% completion rate set an NFL record for a
rookie, and he became the first player since 1950 to throw for over 250 yards,
score multiple passing touchdowns, rush for a touchdown, and maintain a
completion rate over 90%.

The
23-year-old's blend of precision passing and mobility proved unstoppable for
the Bengals’ defense, making it a night to remember for Washington fans. His
second touchdown pass with just over two minutes left – a 27-yard strike to
Terry McLaurin – effectively sealed the game.
Speaking
on his stellar debut, Daniels said, “I’m a competitor. I want to compete at the
highest level. To be a part of one of the 32 teams and go out there every week
is a blessing.”
Commanders'
head coach, Dan Quinn, praised his young quarterback’s poise and
decision-making. "His ability to read the game, knowing when to pass, when
to run – it’s something we've seen in practice, and it was great to see him
perform like this tonight," said Quinn.
While
the Commanders improved to 2-1, the Bengals’ struggles continued. Cincinnati,
now winless after three weeks, came into the season with Super Bowl
aspirations, but their 0-3 start, including two surprise losses at home, has
left fans disappointed. Despite a strong performance from Joe Burrow and the
Bengals' offence, their defense couldn’t contain Daniels and the Commanders.
The
high-scoring affair, notably, was the first NFL game since 1940 to feature no
turnovers or punts.

Bills Cruise to Victory as Damar Hamlin Celebrates a Milestone
In
the other game of the night, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen led his team
to an emphatic 47-10 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Allen’s first-half
performance was particularly dazzling, as he completed 22 of 28 passes for 247
yards and four touchdowns, guiding the Bills to a commanding 34-3 lead by
halftime.
Although
the second half was less eventful, with the result effectively decided, one
special moment stood out. Bills safety Damar Hamlin, in his first Monday night
game since suffering a cardiac arrest last year, recorded his first career
interception. Hamlin's emotional return to the field after such a
life-threatening incident added even more significance to the moment.
Reflecting
on his teammates’ reaction to his interception, Hamlin told ESPN, “They were
even happier than I was. It just shows the bond we have here in Buffalo.”
As
for Jacksonville, their dismal start to the season continues, with no wins in
their first three games. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence struggled against
Buffalo's defence, throwing for just 178 yards, one touchdown, and one
interception before being benched late in the game to avoid injury.
Following
the loss, Jags head coach Doug Pederson didn’t mince words: “We’re not a very
good football team right now, and we need to fix things quickly.”
As
the season progresses, both the Commanders and the Bills will look to build on
their momentum, while the Bengals and Jaguars must regroup to turn their
seasons around.
