Welcome to Week 16 grades!
There were many impressive performances in Week 16, but none were more impressive than Jayden Daniels. In an NFC East matchup against Philadelphia, the Commanders’ rookie quarterback turned in a historic performance. Daniels threw for 258 yards and five touchdowns while adding 81 rushing yards, making him just the second quarterback in NFL history to throw for at least 250 yards and five touchdowns with at least 75 rushing yards. in a single game.
Daniels was especially impressive in the fourth quarter, throwing for 139 yards and three touchdowns in a 36-33 victory. Daniels was so good that Washington was able to overcome five turnovers. With their victory, the Commanders became the first team since 2010 to win a game despite giving up at least 30 points and turning the ball over at least five times.
So what kind of grade do you get when you turn the ball over five times and still win? Let’s move on to Week 16 grades, starting with Eagles-Commanders.
