'Not bad for a college offense': Reactions to Commanders' 38-33 win vs Bengals Monday
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had 324 passing yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.
Chase Brown had 62 rushing yards on just seven carries, and Zack Moss added 57 yards on 11 carries.
Ja'Marr Chase had six catches for 118 yards with two touchdowns. The Bengals didn't turn the ball over.
But they also had no answer for Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who completed 21-of-23 attempts for 254 yards with two touchdowns, and one rushing TD. Austin Ekeler and Brian Robinson Jr. also scored rushing TDs in Washington's 38-26 win.
"They leave this game with more questions than they ever thought they were gonna have," ESPN color analyst Troy Aikman said during the broadcast, as time expired.
The Bengals fell to 0-3 this season. Social media reactions to their third consecutive loss, including a couple of zingers from the Commanders' official Twitter account:

Zac Taylor: Frustrating. We didn't envision ourselves in this spot. But here we are. We've got to own it.

I’m a bengals fan but damn…how good is Jayden Daniels as a rookie?!?? Not just the physical ability..but the composure and understanding of the scheme! Playing with ridiculous poise on the big stage on MNF on the road. Absolutely the REAL DEAL. Gotta tip your cap man. Also great…

Commander Nation, tonight was a big win for our Commanders over a great Cincinnati Bengals team. Jayden Daniels put on a show finishing 21 for 23 with 254 yards and 2 touchdowns! He excelled in his Monday Night debut and set a NFL record high completion percentage for a rookie!

True story: always like to ask Chris Berman in ESPN’s War Room before the Sunday games kick off which teams he likes for his weekly upset. Yesterday he predicted the Giants would beat the Browns, and the Commanders would beat the Bengals.
They don’t call “The Swami” for nothing.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 24, 2024
