Video: Jayden Daniels Says 'This S--t Sucks' After Commanders' Playoff Loss to Eagles

Jayden Daniels had an excellent rookie season, but it ended one game short of a Super Bowl thanks to Sunday's 55-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

He wasn't thrilled about it in the aftermath.

"This sucks," he told reporters. "This s--t sucks. Excuse my language but I couldn't be prouder of my guys."

The loss certainly wasn't Daniels' fault.

He was 29-of-48 passing for 255 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding 48 yards and a score on the ground as a runner. His individual play kept the visitors within striking distance in the early going, but there were eventually too many mistakes to overcome.

Philadelphia scored touchdowns on two different drives that were preserved by third-down penalties by Marshon Lattimore and Mike Sainristil.

The mistakes didn't end there, as Jeremy McNichols lost a fumble on a kickoff, Austin Ekeler lost a fumble when fighting for extra yards and Dyami Brown lost a fumble as well. Washington turned it over four times in all, which set the Eagles offense up in short fields as the home team gradually seized control of the game.

There was even a point when Washington's penalties became almost amusing, as it repeatedly went offside at the goal line until the officials warned they could award the Eagles with a score if the pattern continued.

Daniels' season won't be defined by Sunday's loss.

Rather, he is well on his way to winning Offensive Rookie of the Year and helped the Commanders advance to the NFC Championship Game for the first time since the 1991 campaign.

The future is bright for the franchise, and he is the primary reason for it.

Still, as his postgame comments suggested, it will surely take some time to get over falling just one win short of the Super Bowl.
