Commanders’ Jayden Daniels breaks Andrew Luck’s record for offensive yards by a rookie
An astonishing rookie season for Jayden Daniels, one marked by memorable moments and a historical postseason win, has reached another milestone.
The Washington Commanders quarterback surpassed the Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck for the most offensive yards by a rookie, including playoffs, in NFL history during Saturday’s Divisional Round win over the Detroit Lions.
Entering the game, Daniels needed 190 yards to pass Luck (4,952; 2012), and he got it in the second quarter on a 58-yard touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin, which earned Washington a 17-14 lead following the extra point.
The No. 2 overall pick finished with 350 yards of total offense, completing 22 of 31 passes for 299 yards with two TDs for a 122.9 passer rating while adding 51 rushing yards on 16 carries.
