Jayden Daniels, Commanders Continue Surge Up NFL Power Rankings

The Washington Commanders are off to their best start in years, sitting at 3-1 and leading the NFC East. Their latest triumph came in a 42-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4, marking their third straight win. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has been the catalyst behind the Commanders' offensive resurgence, displaying both precision and mobility.

In four games, Daniels has been nothing short of exceptional . He currently leads the NFL in completion percentage at 82.1 percent, boasts four rushing touchdowns—most among quarterbacks—and ranks second behind Lamar Jackson with 218 rushing yards. Daniels' Week 4 performance was another example of his dynamic skill set, completing 26 of 30 passes for 233 yards, a passing touchdown, and a rushing touchdown, with only one interception.

This surge in success has not gone unnoticed. The Commanders have made a significant jump in the NFL Power Rankings, climbing nine spots to No. 7 . The Commanders, with only five road games left, seem poised to continue their upward trajectory.

As they prepare for their Week 5 matchup , Washington will face a Cleveland Browns team that has struggled on offense. The Browns sit at 1-3 and have dropped two games to NFC East teams, with their offense failing to score more than 18 points in any contest. Despite their offensive challenges, Cleveland’s defense has been a bright spot, giving the Browns a chance to stay competitive. However, injuries to key players like Myles Garrett may open the door for Daniels to extend Washington’s winning streak.
