🏈 Jayden, Meet Russell!

Today, the 6-2 Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Landover to take on the 7-2 Washington Commanders. If you said those two teams had these records at this point you’d be lying to yourself!

Who would have thought that a Week 10 matchup between the Steelers and Commanders would be one of the most interesting matchups of the month? The Commanders are led by their electrifying rookie QB Jayden Daniels. He had lit the league on fire and is doing things you don’t see from ordinary rookies.

He’s making plays with his legs, using his cannon of an arm, and leading his small market team to stardom in the NFC. Can’t help but remind me of a guy who used to play in Seattle!

In his rookie year, Russ went 11-5 and threw for 26 TDs, which was a rookie record at the time! He took the league by storm and became the face of the NFC for almost a decade. He now gets to face off against his old self in Daniels.

Coming into the season, rookie-wise, all talks were on Caleb Williams. The only talks about Russ were his health and how he should stay on the bench in favor of Justin Fields.

Now the narrative has been flipped on his head! These two teams are near the top of their conference standings and are still not being talked about enough. It’s hard to win games in the NFL and no matter how they do that, these guys are winning.

The Steelers and Mike Tomlin have dominated rookie QBs. In his tenure, they are 25-6 against rookies. Tomorrow they face off against a guy who looks to keep the hot streak going!

A game that people didn’t expect, featuring 2 QBs people didn’t see coming!
