On the first possession of the second half for Washington, Daniels, who has already missed two games with a knee injury this season, injured his right hamstring while losing a fumble on Shemar James’ sack.
Daniels and Williams are likely to be forever linked because both were Heisman Trophy winners and Williams went No. 1 overall in the 2024 draft, one spot ahead of Daniels.
Washington’s Jayden Daniels was 15-for-26 for 231 yards and a touchdown in the game’s final minute in helping the Commanders (3-2) win for the first time on the road.
With key coaching decisions, steady play from Marcus Mariota in place of the hurt Jayden Daniels, a strong ground game and contributions from up and down the roster, Washington (2-1) beat Las Vegas 41-24 to get itself pointed in the right direction.
In his first NFL start since 2022 with Atlanta, Mariota went 15-for-21 for 206 yards with a late touchdown through the air. He ran six times for 40 yards, including a 2-yard TD.
