The scariest thing at Jayden Daniels’ doorstep this Halloween won’t be a ghost
By Matt Sidney
The Baltimore Ravens keep rolling, notching their fourth straight win with a 30-23 Week 6 victory over the Washington Commanders. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry led the way for Baltimore, with Jackson throwing for 323 yards and Henry rushing for 132 yards and two scores. Wide receiver Zay Flowers added 132 receiving yards, proving once again the Ravens’ offense is clicking on all cylinders.
On the other side, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels shined in the loss, throwing for a career-high 269 yards and two touchdowns.
But the biggest takeaway from this game? Lamar Jackson didn’t just leave the Commanders with a loss - he might’ve also left something on Daniels’ doorstep.
Lamar Jackson plans on sending his jersey to Jayden Daniels whether he wants him to or not
Following the final whistle, Jackson was seen sharing a brief moment with Daniels on the field. When Tracy Wolfson caught up with Lamar for a post-game interview, she asked him what he said to the impressive rookie quarterback.
With his trademark grin, Jackson responded, “I need that jersey (haha). But yeah man, definitely a great player. What, just his fifth or sixth game in the league? Rookie year - sky's the limit for him.”
When Wolfson joked Daniels probably wanted Jackson’s jersey in return, Lamar didn’t hesitate. “Haha, we gone see, but I’m definitely going to send it to him!”
As Halloween approaches, Daniels might want to keep an eye on his doorstep, because the scariest thing he might find this season won’t be a ghost. It’ll be Jackson’s No. 8 jersey, showing up unannounced as an unexpected trick-or-treat. The playful moment was vintage Lamar, blending his respect for opponents with the swagger that makes him one of the most exciting players in the league.
Jackson’s words and his promise to send the jersey reflect the camaraderie and admiration growing between two generations of dual-threat quarterbacks. Daniels has earned respect quickly, and if his performance against the Ravens is any indication, this won’t be the last time these two cross paths.
As Baltimore’s winning streak continues and Jackson stays sharp both through the air and on the ground, don’t be surprised if his play (and his post-game antics) keep making headlines. For now, though, Daniels might want to check his porch, because something far more intimidating than a Halloween costume is headed his way.
