Daniels stayed down<\/a> momentarily, then started to walk to the sideline before going to the turf again. Upon seeing a video replay of the injury, Fox NFL analyst Tom Brady uttered a profanity.<\/p>\nDaniels\u2019 head was covered in a towel as he left the field on a cart several minutes after all the Dallas players and most of the Washington players had gone to their locker rooms.<\/p>\n
After the game, Commanders coach Dan Quinn confirmed the dislocation but said imaging showed no fracture and that Daniels would fly home with the team.<\/p>\n
Daniels, who was replaced by Marcus Mariota, missed all but one game in the second half of last season after dislocating his left elbow in a blowout loss to Seattle last November.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he was really playing his (rear end) off,\u201d Quinn said. \u201cAnd we will rally so hard around Marcus until Jayden\u2019s back. And that\u2019s what we talked about as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mariota connected with Stefon Diggs for his second TD catch of the game to get Washington (0-2) within 30-20 with 9 minutes remaining.<\/p>\n
Prescott led an 11-play drive the other way that ended with Lamb’s 24-yard touchdown. The 33-year-old in his 11th season went 26 of 32 for 279 yards without an interception and extended his home winning streak against NFC East rivals to 20 games.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t talk about Dak, the player, without starting with the man,\u201d coach Brian Schottenheimer said. The man is unique. That\u2019s why I was emotional watching the guys celebrate him in the locker room. The way he plays this game, the way leads us is special.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before his injury, Daniels kept the Commanders close with his mobility. He had an 18-yard scramble on a drive that ended in a field goal and then a 20-yarder before his 4-yard touchdown pass to Diggs.<\/p>\n
The Commanders were out of timeouts when they had a first down at the Dallas 1 trailing 17-10 with 12 seconds left in the first half. Daniels threw two incompletions, leaving 3 seconds for the play on which he was injured.<\/p>\n
Daniels had 69 yards on seven carries while going 11 of 17 for 96 yards passing.<\/p>\n
Dallas defense shows some life<\/p>\n
A week a dud of a performance in the opener and the debut of 34-year-old defensive coordinator Christian Parker, the Dallas defense at least put up some resistance.<\/p>\n
Mariota led the Commanders to a field goal to start the second half, but his second drive ended on the first play when Dallas rookie linebacker Jaishawn Barham forced a fumble by Dyami Brown on a screen pass. Dee Winters recovered inside the Washington 20, and Prescott’s second TD pass to Ferguson for a 27-13 lead came two plays later.<\/p>\n
