McConaughey is not the only Commanders fan riding high after the hot start. They lead the NFC East at 6-2 and are a game ahead of the 5-2 Philadelphia Eagles.
The Washington Commanders’ hot start
Despite losing their first game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 37-20, the Commanders have turned things around. It started with a win over their division rival New York Giants. The Commanders strung together three more wins in the next three weeks over the Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Cardinals, and Cleveland Browns.
Their only other loss came against the Baltimore Ravens. They lost by a touchdown before demolishing the Carolina Panthers 40-7 the following week.
The Commanders’ latest victory came against the Bears with a miraculous ending. The Bears scored a touchdown with 25 seconds left in the game to go up 15-12.
On a Hail Mary pass, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels launched the ball into the end zone. It got tipped into the hands of Noah Brown, who scored the walk-off touchdown to win.
It has been a fun season for Commanders fans, who are witnessing a great rookie campaign from Daniels. Through eight games, Daniels is completing 71.8% of his passes and has thrown for 1,736 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also has 424 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.
