Commanders vs. Giants: Daniels Looks to Shine as Mayfield Eyes Victory

The upcoming matchup features compelling rivals who did not meet expectations in their season debuts. This game presents a notable opportunity for Daniels to impress the home crowd. Given Mayfield's success against the Giants defense, Daniels may have more chances to showcase his skills. In the previous week, the Commanders QB demonstrated his ability to gain substantial yardage through running plays. The Giants may struggle to contain the agile rookie, especially with key players like Nabers and Slayton on the injured list. With Jones' underwhelming performance in the last game, changes may be necessary for the Giants. On the other hand, Washington has a favorable track record in their home openers. Ultimately, the Commanders are favored to cover in this matchup.
