Commanders’ Jayden Daniels becomes first QB in NFL history to accomplish this feat

USATSI

It’s early, but it looks like Jayden Daniels may very well run away with the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award. Fresh off of his massive performance in last Monday’s win over the Bengals, Daniels made NFL history on Sunday in leading the Washington Commanders to a 42-14 blowout over the Arizona Cardinals. 

Daniels became the first quarterback in NFL history to complete at least 85% of his throws in consecutive games, via Elias Sports. He completed nearly 87% of his throws on Sunday after he completed 91.3% of his throws in Cincinnati. Daniels’ 82.1% completion percentage through his first four games is also an NFL record (h/t Bleacher Report). 

The reigning No. 2 overall pick, Daniels torched the Cardinals with his arm and well as with his legs. He went 26 of 30 for 233 yards that included his fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin. He also ran for 47 yards and a score.

While he’s making history with his arm, Daniels told CBS Sports prior to the 2024 NFL Draft that he aspires to become the greatest running quarterback in NFL history. Daniels is off to a good start there, too, as he has already rushed for 218 yards and four scores through four games.
