Cowboys fans have seen this script before with the Commanders and their new hotshot rookie QB, but that means they have to endure another meeting with the next big thing. Robert Griffin III torched the Cowboys in his first season, but he fizzled out, and the hope is that Daniels will as well.
However, in the present, Daniels presents a significant challenge as one of the best dual threat signal callers in the NFL. Daniels has already broken the rookie record for rushing yards by a quarterback and can beat defenses with his arm as well. Accounting for 31 total touchdowns and rushing for 864 yards, Daniels not only leads all rookie QBs in yards on the ground, he leads all QBs in rushing yards.
The Cowboys have struggled to stop QBs who can do both this season and Daniels burned them for 374 yards and three total touchdowns in the first meeting. Daniels is also coming off one of his best performances in an overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons where he rushed for a career high 127 yards.
It’s not going to be fun trying to stop the Commanders’ rookie sensation.
