Fresh off a thrilling win on Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Washington Commanders (2-1) travel to Glendale for a matchup with the Arizona Cardinals (1-2) on Sunday afternoon.
Commanders rookie QB Jayden Daniels made national headlines with his sensational performance against Cincinnati, throwing 2 TD passes while running for another in his team's 38-33 win. Veteran wide receiver Terry McLaurin also posted his best game of the new season, recording 4 catches for 100 yards and a touchdown.
On the other side, the Cardinals possess two of the most dynamic playmakers in the NFL in QB Kyler Murray and rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr. Arizona hung with the Bills in Week 1, blew out the Rams in Week 2, then were stifled in a 20-13 loss to the Lions last Sunday.

On any surprises from QB Jayden Daniels' performance through the first three games: "You know, I don't try to put what he can and can't do on there, but what I have seen and what I expected to see was his improvement. I think you may have heard me say the bigger the challenge, sometimes with him, the bigger the smile and that's on the field to go. So, here it is another challenge. This week, different fronts, good blitz package, a lot of stuff to throw out of him, so he'll be ready for that as well."
On what he has seen from WR Luke McCaffrey and DB Mike Sainristil from training camp to now: "Yes. What I've seen early is a little bit what I've seen late. By that I'll say these guys are like a rare level of competitor, they just don't back down. I knew Mike also had leadership skills early on, where guys would look to him, not just the other rookie class, but some of the defensive backs as well. So, I would say that's what I saw. As they're growing into their season, they're just three games in. So, each of these opportunities, they're so important. I think when we look back a few months from now, some of the mistakes that guys make early, they don't make late. But you do have to fight through some of those with the guys. And I have unbelievable belief in them about what they're capable of becoming. And that sometimes happens with the youngest players to make sure they get the experience, so by the time December and January football does come, they've lived through some of those. They have some scars to look back on and they're really better for that."
On the last few days and on if playing well on Monday Night Football is different than a big game in college: “Nah, it was just another game to me. I guess everybody says a primetime game, all eyes are watching. For me, it's like, man, maybe if some kid who never watched me play before was able to turn on that game and watch me play and be inspired by somebody.”
On anything specific last week that led to his connections with WR Terry McLaurin: “Man, pieces fell in place. It wasn't anything specifically, we just kept working, kept growing. And that's the testament to Terry, who he is as a pro. Be able to just be out there and be patient, because like I said before, it's not going to be smooth sailing, going to have some adversity, have some rollercoaster, some ups and downs. So, salute to Terry.”
On if it feels different coaching there now given his history with the Arizona Cardinals: "No, not really. I have a great appreciation for the place and the players. Obviously, you look at the film, [Arizona Cardinals S] Budda Baker, I'm still in awe of the way he plays the game. [Arizona Cardinals S] Jalen Thompson, [Arizona Cardinals WR] Zay [Jones], I mean all those guys. So, it's exciting to get to play a bunch of guys you know and have a bunch of respect for. But other than that, it's just been a short game week after Monday, so it's been all work."
