Postgame Handshake Between Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson Goes Viral

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has been a standout surprise in the NFL through the first five weeks. In Week 6, he faced off against two-time MVP Lamar Jackson in a thrilling matchup, but the Baltimore Ravens came out on top, 30-23, after Daniels and his team fell short in a late comeback attempt.

Despite the loss, Daniels has emerged as a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year, leading the Commanders to a 4-2 record. Meanwhile, Jackson and the Ravens have rebounded from an 0-2 start to win four straight games.

Both quarterbacks showcase a similar style of play, adept at making things happen with their arms and legs. After the game, Jackson shared an encouraging moment with Daniels, giving him well-deserved recognition for his impressive performance.

Check it out:

Daniels finished the game with impressive numbers, completing 24 of 35 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns, along with six carries for 22 yards. He faced a tough Ravens defense known for stopping the run but managed to remain effective.

Lamar Jackson, aided by Derrick Henry's two rushing touchdowns, completed 20 of 26 passes for 323 yards and one touchdown, while adding 40 rushing yards on 11 attempts.

Both quarterbacks performed well, but Baltimore made key plays when it counted, securing the win. Washington will next face Carolina in Week 7, but all eyes will be on Daniels as he prepares for a highly anticipated matchup against fellow rookie Caleb Williams in Week 8.

Both quarterbacks have guided their teams to 4-2 records to start the year, a remarkable turnaround after last season when they were among the two worst teams in the NFL.
