The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t have a great season, finishing at the bottom of the AFC West with a 4-13 record. But even in a tough year for the team, Maxx Crosby still managed to rack up 13.5 run stuffs. Since the season wrapped up, there’s been a lot of buzz about the 27-year-old possibly leaving the Raiders, with many speculating that he could land with the Washington Commanders. The idea of Crosby teaming up with Jayden Daniels has fans excited, but the big question is: will it actually happen?

Well, there has been no official statement from either party confirming any such move. Amidst all this though, the Raiders DE shared his thoughts on Daniel and the Commanders’ upcoming game vs the Lions. He appeared on Good Morning Football and talked about the same: “Don’t sleep on Jayden Daniels. That kid is so calm under pressure… He’s so cool and collected, he’s so talented, and if you’re gonna man up against Washington with those types of, you know the speed and talent out there, and a quarterback like Jayden Daniel who the Lions have struggled against dual-threat guys. I think he can really go in there and shock the world.”

Crosby believes Daniels has the skills to shine in big games and will definitely be a player to keep an eye on. And honestly, that makes total sense. Daniels has been on fire this season, leading the charge and helping the team break their 19-year playoff drought. In 17 games, the rookie QB racked up 3,568 passing yards, 891 rushing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, and six rushing touchdowns. Those are some impressive numbers!

It’s not just the stats—Daniels really showed his ability to come through in big moments with his performance against the Buccaneers in the wild-card game. He threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns, proving he’s got what it takes. These kinds of performances have people excited to see how he’ll do against the Lions. The Commanders are entering this game on a high note, finishing the regular season with a 5-game win streak. With Daniels leading the way, Sunday’s matchup is sure to be an exciting one.

What to expect from the Washington Commanders on Sunday?

The Lions have had an amazing season, finishing at the top of the NFC North with a stunning 15-2 record. With their strong performances all year, they’re now considered slight favorites heading into the game. And honestly, it makes sense. Ben Johnson’s offense has been electric—despite conversations of Johnson’s exit from the team— with Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, and David Montgomery leading the way. But, their defense? Well, that’s been a bit of a mixed bag, leaving a little to be desired.

This is where Jayden Daniels is really going to make things tough for the Lions. With plenty of support from Terry McLaurin, the two of them will definitely give Aaron Glenn’s defense some trouble. It’s shaping up to be a showdown between two of the best offensive teams in the league, so expect a high-scoring game.

Experts have weighed in, and many believe Daniels will be the key for the Commanders. Still, most are predicting the Lions will come out on top. The Lions have been absolutely dominant this season, and while the Commanders are peaking at the right time, it’s going to be a tough challenge for Daniels and the team.

Will Daniels and the Commanders pull off a surprise and do something amazing? We’ll just have to wait and see. One thing’s for sure, though—it’s going to be an epic matchup between two of the best teams out there.
