Monday night was a big night for the Washington Commanders. In their first year under new general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn, the Commanders picked up a massive win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football.
Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels was phenomenal, completing 21 of 23 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 39 yards and another score. Despite how well Daniels played, and he was virtually perfect, the game was still in doubt late.
But Daniels ended all that uncertainly with his 27-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Terry McLaurin. Facing a third-and-7 from the 27-yard line with 2:10 remaining, Daniels faced heavy pressure from the Bengals and threw a strike to McLaurin to put the Commanders up 12 points, essentially ending any chance of a Cincinnati comeback.
If you think fans were excited, you should’ve seen Washington’s radio broadcast team. Play-by-play man Bram Weinstein, who grew up a fan of the franchise, and former tight end Logan Paulsen were on the call and couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Weinstein and Paulsen lost their minds and celebrated in the moment. This was yet another excellent visual from Monday’s win.
