Philadelphia players were careful not to provide any extra motivation to the rookie quarterback, who has posed a big challenge in two games already this season.

Daniels gashed Detroit's banged-up secondary, but the Eagles can also take lessons their defense learned from their Week 16 loss to Washington.

Daniels has been named the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) Rookie of the Year, amid a historic season in Washington. The PFWA recently released its official awards list of rookie rankings, giving Daniels the nod on the offensive end, while naming Los Angeles Rams rookie defensive lineman Jared Verse the Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Washington Commanders' quarterback Jayden Daniels has had arguably the greatest rookie season in modern football history.

Their locker room was a mixture of sweat and jubilation. The Philadelphia Eagles players showered, dressed and stepped out into a snowy, frigid night. A cold reality was waiting on the other side of Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Rams.
