Jayden Daniels showcased an exceptional performance in Washington's recent victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, setting a rookie record by completing an impressive 91.3% of his passes. Washington's offense has been operating with remarkable efficiency, scoring on every drive in the past two weeks, a feat rarely seen in NFL history.
Before Washington's Week 2 game, only seven out of 6,192 regular-season NFL games since 2000 had seen a team score on every drive, excluding kneeldowns. Daniels led the Commanders to achieve this remarkable feat for two consecutive weeks, joining an elite group of quarterbacks who have accomplished this rare achievement.
On the other hand, the Kansas City Chiefs have been dominating close games, winning six straight games by seven points or fewer. Their narrow victories have set a record for the lowest point differential among teams with at least nine consecutive wins in NFL history.
In a surprising turn of events, Jahmyr Gibbs scored a receiving touchdown without catching a pass, thanks to a perfectly executed hook-and-ladder play. This unique play mirrored a similar feat achieved in the Super Bowl era back in 1984.
Andy Dalton's stellar performance for the Carolina Panthers helped them secure a much-needed win after a rough start to the season. Dalton's success against the Las Vegas Raiders further solidified his reputation as a quarterback with an impressive track record against specific opponents.
Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence faced another defeat, marking his eighth consecutive loss as a starting quarterback. Lawrence's struggles put him in rare company, with only Jim Plunkett sharing a similar streak of multiple distinct losing runs in the common draft era.
As the NFL season progresses, these standout performances and statistical anomalies continue to shape the narrative of each team and player's journey in the league.
