Per NFL.com's Kevin Patra, Daniels became the first rookie QB since Joe Flacco in 2008 to beat a No. 1 seed after the Commanders upset the Detroit Lions 45-31 in the divisional round. He also tied Ben Roethlisberger's record for wins (14) by a rookie QB in a season (including playoffs), via The 33rd Team.

It was a tale of two quarterbacks on Saturday in Detroit, with Tom Brady getting his opportunity to call a game starring impressive rookie QB Jayden Daniels.

Daniels has been named the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) Rookie of the Year, amid a historic season in Washington. The PFWA recently released its official awards list of rookie rankings, giving Daniels the nod on the offensive end, while naming Los Angeles Rams rookie defensive lineman Jared Verse the Defensive Rookie of the Year.
