The Washington Commanders are preparing to host the Atlanta Falcons in a big game on Sunday at Northwest Stadium. All eyes have been on what Jayden Daniels has been able to accomplish on the field, but it's his leadership off of it that's turning heads.

Jayden Daniels was not worried when he and the Washington Commanders trailed the Philadelphia Eagles by 14 points after just seven minutes, and the rookie quarterback was similarly undaunted staring down a 13-point deficit going into the fourth quarter,

The key for the Atlanta Falcons isn't Penix Jr.'s performance. It's establishing the running game with Bijan Robinson and then shifting the rhythm to the zone schemes for Tyler Allgier to get going downhill. Washington has been weak against the run all year, the Achilles heel of their defense.

The Washington Commanders won their third consecutive game Sunday, defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 36-33. The win improved Washington's record to 10-5, tightening its grip on the No. 7 and final NFC playoff seed.

The NFC East is home to some of the NFC's most storied rivalries, and those longstanding feuds sit at the center of a postseason push that could come down to Week 18 of the 2024 season. A game-winning drive from Jayden Daniels propelled Washington to a thrilling 30-28 win over Philadelphia in Week 16 to keep the race for the NFC East crown alive.
