Washington Commanders at Arizona Cardinals odds, expert picks, how to watch: Will Jayden Daniels star again?

R.Johnson28 min ago

Fresh off of a statement victory, Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders look to maintain their momentum on the road against the favored Arizona Cardinals . This also is a homecoming of sorts for Daniels, who started his college career at Arizona State before transferring to LSU. The same could be said about Daniels' offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, who was the Cardinals' head coach from 2019-22.

Daniels and Kingsbury are coming back to the desert, with Washington (2-1) enjoying its first winning streak since the start of last season. Daniels was near-perfect in the Commanders' 38-33 victory in Cincinnati on Monday night. He was responsible for three touchdowns and set a rookie single-game record for completion rate (91.3 percent) in his duel with fellow Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow .

Daniels has teamed with Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler (who suffered a concussion on Monday night) to give Washington a multifaceted running attack. However, Ekeler has been ruled out for this game. Even without Ekeler, Daniels and Robinson could pose problems for an Arizona defense that surrendered 187 yards on the ground to Detroit in last week's 20-13 loss.

Kyler Murray , another member of the Heisman fraternity, is off to his own strong start for the Cardinals (1-2). He's thrown five touchdown passes and just one interception through the first three games and is averaging more than 10 yards per carry. After an extremely quiet debut, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has made his presence known (three touchdown catches in the last two games), and the rookie will be the focus of a Commanders defense still figuring out new head coach Dan Quinn's system. It's early, but Washington is second to last in the league in passing yards allowed per game and dead last in third-down conversions allowed (61.3 percent).

Combine the dynamic quarterbacks with the defensive shortcomings on both teams and sprinkle in some extra motivation for some of the participants and this could be one of the more entertaining matchups in the Week 4 slate.
