Jayden Daniels stole the show in the Monday Night Football nightcap, announcing his arrival with precision and poise in a 38-33 Washington Commanders' victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. The same rookie quarterback that could not find the end zone in seven red-zone trips last week threw for two scores and ran another in against a Bengals side that is now 0-3 and in serious jeopardy of missing the playoffs.
Everything from Joe Burrow to the defense to the usually reliable Evan McPherson felt a bit off. But none of it was Joe Buck's fault. He made it quite clear that he did not conjure up a jinx on the Bengals kicker before McPherson hooked a 48-yard attempt wide left on the second quarter's first play.
