Washington has reached the final four of the NFL season, with a SuperBid on the line this weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Commanders undoubtedly shocked the NFL with the turnaround head coach Dan Quinn accomplished with his team. It’s been an exciting season, and Washington won’t get to where it is without key players elevating their game even further in the postseason. Receivers Dyami Brown and Terry McLaurin are tied for second in the NFL playoffs in receptions and rank third and fourth in yards, respectively. Rookie cornerback Mike Sainristil is tied for first in the NFL in interceptions, safety Jeremy Chinn leads the NFL in tackles and Dorance Armstrong is tied for second in sacks.
Several other players have stepped up their intensity for the playoffs. This indicates that proper leadership is in place and everyone is on the same page as they move forward in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Jayden Daniels, a rookie quarterback who has yet to flinch in these high-stakes moments, is leading the team. He heads into his first NFC championship game, leading the NFL in passing yards and completions and tied for first in touchdowns. Additionally, Daniels has done a great job protecting the football and his offensive line, as he has by far the best sack percentage.
