Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, and Dan Quinn are on the verge of historic milestones as the Commanders take on the Eagles for a shot at the Super Bowl.
Wilson is responsible for perhaps the most surprisingly good season for a rookie QB.

But Wilson blew everyone away in training camp and won the job prior to Week 1.
Earlier last year, before Jayden Daniels was a Commander and before Washington drafted what it hoped would be its franchise quarterback, new head coach Dan Quinn played a game.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn celebrated rookie QB Jayden Daniels as a 'rare competitor' after Saturday's huge upset win in Detroit.
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn has detailed one characteristic of Jayden Daniels that is contagious to the rest of the roster.
The former LSU standout, who has been turning heads all season, delivered a stellar performance. Daniels finished the game with a 122.9 passer rating. His play was highlighted by completing 22 of 31 passes for 299 passing yards, two touchdowns and zero picks.
In NFL history, just 11 rookie quarterbacks have won a playoff game, with Joe Flacco, Mark Sanchez and Brock Purdy winning two in their first seasons. Additionally, no rookie quarterback has ever started in the Super Bowl, which gives Daniels and Nix an opening to make history.
Quinn's second shot at being an NFL head coach is going incredibly well so far, and it's partly because of lessons from his previous stops.
