WATCH: Commanders QB Jayden Daniels connects with Luke McCaffrey on 4th down

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn knew he would need to be aggressive if his team had any chance to upset the Cincinnati Bengals on the Week 3 edition of Monday Night Football.

Quinn was right. The Bengals went on offense first, and quarterback Joe Burrow found wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase for a relatively easy 41-yard touchdown to give Cincinnati an early 7-0 lead.

How would his rookie quarterback, Jayden Daniels, respond?

Daniels quickly led Washington across midfield but came up short on third down. Would Quinn settle for a field goal on the first drive or be aggressive and go for it?

Quinn was aggressive, and Daniels rewarded his decision. On fourth-and-2, Daniels calmy found fellow rookie Luke McCaffrey for 30 yards, setting up the Commanders with a first-and-goal.

Check it out:

A few plays later, Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. punched it in for his second touchdown this season to tie the game, 7-7.
