He figured that Daniels had a future playing on Sundays and wanted to prepare him for what would come next.“He always told me, ‘No matter what, you give yourself a chance to win the game if the possession always ends with a kick,’” Daniels told The Washington Post. “Whether that’s a punt or a field goal, you always want to end it with a kick.”That was ingrained in Daniels throughout his five years of college football, and it hasn’t changed in the slightest through his third season with the Washington Commanders.

Plus, what the Eagles win did—and didn’t—change for Dan Quinn.Luke McCaffrey looked good on that long kickoff return, but he barely played on offense. With Terry out for the year, is there a reason he still isn’t getting more opportunities at receiver?Question from Nigel F. via emailThat’s a great question that I’ve written about here before. From what I can tell, the staff likes McCaffrey, or he wouldn’t be on the roster, but he somehow keeps falling outside of the group that gets the main share of the offensive snaps at receiver. Against Philadelphia, McCaffrey played just three offensive snaps. Antonio Williams played 50, Treylon Burks 40, and Stefon Diggs 39. The team loaded up at receiver this offseason, giving the staff
