Jayden Daniels injures left arm on final play of half as Cowboys lead 17-10
Source: NBCSports.com
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a potentially serious injury to his left arm on the final play of the first half against the Dallas Cowboys. With three seconds remaining and the Commanders positioned at the Dallas 1-yard line, Daniels took the snap under center but was accidentally stepped on by one of his own offensive linemen. He fell awkwardly and landed on his elbow, raising immediate concerns about the severity of the injury.
Daniels managed to throw the ball before going down, but he remained on the turf after the play, unable to rise quickly. The moment was particularly alarming given that Daniels had dislocated his left elbow the previous season. Fox Sports analyst and former NFL star Tom Brady, watching the replay in the booth, was visibly shocked, exclaiming an expletive before apologizing to viewers — a reaction that underscored just how disturbing the footage appeared.
Despite the injury scare, the game had shown Daniels at his best up to that point. The Cowboys had dominated early, building a 10-0 lead and eventually stretching it to 17-3. Daniels led a Commanders comeback, capping a drive with a 4-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Stefon Diggs, while rookie kicker Drew Stevens contributed a 27-yard field goal to narrow the deficit to 17-10 by halftime.
Statistically, both quarterbacks performed well in the first half. Daniels completed 11 of 17 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown, adding 69 rushing yards on seven carries — a testament to his dual-threat ability. Cowboys starter Dak Prescott was equally efficient, going 15-of-19 for 155 yards and two touchdown passes, including a 3-yarder to CeeDee Lamb and a 10-yarder to tight end Dalton Schultz.
The Cowboys controlled the early momentum, scoring on each of their first three possessions before going three-and-out. However, the Commanders gradually wrestled control of the line of scrimmage, outgaining Dallas 225 yards to 171 in total offense during the half. CeeDee Lamb was Dallas's standout offensive weapon, recording six receptions for 94 yards. The outcome of the second half would depend heavily on whether Daniels could return to the field.

ワシントン・コマンダーズのQBジェイデン・ダニエルズが、ダラス・カウボーイズ戦の前半終了間際に左腕に重傷を負った。残り3秒、ダラスのゴール前1ヤードでスナップを受けた直後、自チームのオフェンスラインマンに踏まれて転倒し、肘から着地した。負傷の深刻さに、スタジアム全体に緊張が走った。
ダニエルズはボールを投げた後、芝生の上に倒れたまま起き上がれなかった。前シーズンに左肘を脱臼した経緯があるだけに、状況はより深刻に映った。FOXスポーツの解説を務める元NFL選手トム・ブレイディはリプレイを見て思わず不適切な言葉を発し、すぐに謝罪した。その反応が映像の衝撃的な内容を如実に物語っていた。
負傷が懸念される一方、ダニエルズはここまで好パフォーマンスを見せていた。カウボーイズは序盤に主導権を握り、10対0から最大17対3とリードを広げた。しかしダニエルズが反撃を主導し、WRステフォン・ディグスへの4ヤードTDパスをマーク。ルーキーKドリュー・スティーブンスの27ヤードFGも決まり、前半終了時点で17対10と差を縮めた。
統計面でも両QBは前半に際立った活躍を見せた。ダニエルズは17投中11回成功、96ヤード、TD1本に加え、7回のキャリーで69ランヤードを積み重ね、二刀流としての能力を証明した。カウボーイズのダック・プレスコットも15投中15回成功、155ヤード、TD2本と安定したパフォーマンスで効率よくチームを牽引した。
カウボーイズは最初の3シリーズを連続得点で支配したが、その後は得点が止まった。コマンダーズは徐々に流れを引き寄せ、前半のトータルオフェンスではダラスの171ヤードを上回る225ヤードを獲得した。ダラス側ではWRシーディー・ラムが6キャッチ94ヤードと存在感を発揮した。後半の展開はダニエルズがフィールドに戻れるかどうかに大きくかかっていた。
