Coach Dan Quinn knows rookie Jayden Daniels and the rest of the Washington Commanders don't have a lot of time ahead of their NFC East matchup at the Philadelphia Eagles to fix the sorts of things that went wrong during a one-point loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels speaks to the media after an NFL football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers , Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024, in Landover, Md.
Daniels has the Commanders on the precipice of their biggest regular-season game in the series against the NFC East rival Eagles in decades.Not a chance. Washington and Philadelphia meet — not only with the division lead at stake — but with both teams at least four games over .500 entering the game for the first time since 1996.
“I’m excited just to go to Philly and that type of atmosphere,” Daniels said. “Heard they got very passionate fans, so man, I can’t wait. I can’t wait to go out there and see that fan base, and just experience that. And I know it’s going to be a great venue, a great site, and we’ll just go out there and see what happens.”
Led by Daniels, the Washington offense keeps putting up points, week in, week out, even against stingy opponents like Pittsburgh, which entered Sunday allowing just 14.9 per game. The QB is building a strong connection with receiver“A really good player who started off on fire, so we’ll have a challenge here this week,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. “You know how he’s going to the right place with the football, being accurate, the things he can do when things do break down.
“Every game is different,” said Daniels, who has completed 56.4% of his passes the last three games after 75.6% in his first seven. “It just depends on the coordinator. Just going out there and just kind of adjusting to what I see and what they’re doing.”Gelston is an an Associated Press sports writer covering major college and pro sports in Philadelphia, including the 76ers, Flyers, Eagles, Phillies and Villanova.
