Jayden Daniels had his coming out party on Monday Night Football and showed why the Commanders selected him with the No. 2 overall pick.

Daniels outperformed the quarterback he was compared to last season at LSU, succeeding Joe Burrow as the Heisman Trophy winner in Baton Rouge.

Daniels threw for 254 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another to lead the Commanders to a convincing 38-33 victory over the Bengals.

The Commanders are 2-1, while the Bengals have slipped to 0-3. The 2018 Texans are the only 0-3 team to reach the postseason since 2000.

The Commanders scored on all six possessions, not counting on a one-play kneedown to end the half and a one-play kneedown to end the game. They made it clear with a 12-play, 70-yard drive that took 7:32 of the fourth quarter, overcoming two penalties, a sack and a fourth-down attempt.

Terry McLaurin caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from Daniels with 2:10 left to give the Commanders a 38-26 lead. McLaurin finished the game with four catches for 100 yards.

With 40 seconds left, the Bengals scored a touchdown on a run by Zack Moss, but the Commanders intercepted the onside kick.

Daniels had a nearly perfect night, completing 21 of 23 passes and running for 40 yards on 11 carries. His first career touchdown came from offensive lineman Trent Scott for a 1-yard touchdown.

The Bengals had a 436-356 lead over the Commanders with neither team punting, but Cincinnati’s drives ended at Washington’s 30, 9 and 13. Evan McPherson missed a 48-yard field goal and kicked at 28 and 31.

Burrow completed 29 of 38 passes for 324 yards and three touchdowns, while Ja’Marr Chase caught six passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns. Chase Brown ran for 62 yards on seven carries and Moss ran for 12 for 58 yards and a touchdown.

According to the ESPN broadcast, it was the first game since 1940 without any turnovers or punts.
