Jayden Daniels and Jaxson Dart both went down with Week 2injuries, and their teammates\u2019 opposite reactions were extremely interesting:<\/p>\n

A few thoughts on these very different reactions:<\/p>\n

Do the Commanders hate Jayden Daniels?<\/p>\n

Sure seems like the Commanders hate Jayden Daniels. <\/p>\n

Daniels is basically crawling for a moment there, and a couple of his teammates damn near step over him AI-Ty Lue style. <\/p>\n

Marcus Mariota runs out there to check on him. That\u2019s good. <\/p>\n

But the rest of the offensive line just keeps it moving. <\/p>\n

They glance over at him a little. That\u2019s about it. <\/p>\n

A curious quick glance, like they don\u2019t know what that is on the ground.<\/p>\n

Like they\u2019re eyeing an unknown object on the shoulder of 95 as they speed by. <\/p>\n

Like a torn-up tire. <\/p>\n

Or a plastic hunk of bumper. <\/p>\n

On the flip side, look how upset the whole Giants team is:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Helmets are off.<\/p>\n

Heads cast down in a somber way.<\/p>\n

Pretty much everyone\u2019s on one knee. <\/p>\n

Even guys who aren\u2019t suited up took a knee:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For all we know that guy is a trainer.<\/p>\n

Maybe a cameraman. <\/p>\n

And even he\u2019s taking a knee. <\/p>\n

From this clip it feels like the entire stadium might have taken a knee. <\/p>\n

Feels like if the video went a little longer, we would\u2019ve seen the Our Father text appear on the jumbotron and the whole building join hands in prayer. <\/p>\n

There was no Our Father on the jumbotron for Jayden. <\/p>\n

If that jumbotron was about to play anything, feels like it would\u2019ve been a helmet shuffle, fully indifferent to Washington\u2019s QB1 writhing on the ground.<\/p>\n

Or the \u201cmake some noise\u201d volume meter to get some cheers going. <\/p>\n

Drown out the sound of Jayden\u2019s shrieks. <\/p>\n

In short, seems like everyone on the Giants really loves Jaxson Dart. <\/p>\n

Unlike the way the Commanders feel about Jayden. <\/p>\n

Also, pretty interesting that two NFC East quarterbacks are already injured. <\/p>\n

Remember when Drew Brees got mad that Jalen Hurts didn\u2019t lay out for a first down the other day?<\/p>\n

“Lower your shoulder and go get the first down” \u2013 Drew Brees did NOT like Jalen Hurts protecting himself with a slide in the second quarter of Week 2 against the Titans pic.twitter.com\/q8nePomNdP<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) September 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n

Awful take there, Drew. <\/p>\n

Glad your opinion does not matter. <\/p>\n

Glad you\u2019re not Jalen\u2019s boss. <\/p>\n

Glad we haven\u2019t had to throw the Our Father up on the jumbotron for Jalen. <\/p>\n

Taking a knee right now in front of my laptop and praying that we never have to. <\/p>\n
