Jayden Daniels dragged into escalating Kliff Kingsbury fallout after wild claim

The 2025 season didn't go remotely as planned for Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders.

A year after winning 12 games and reaching the NFC Championship game in the star quarterback's rookie year, the Commanders went 5-12. Daniels appeared in only seven contests and finished only four due to numerous frustrating injury problems.

Plenty of blame can be tossed around, and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was a popular source of it. Washington ended up parting ways with him at the conclusion of the season due to a disagreement over philosophy. The Commanders replaced him with coach David Blough, who has no NFL play-calling experience.
