In his postgame remarks, Lamar Jackson shared that he spoke with Jayden Daniels after the game in a typical quarterback-to-quarterback conversation. During that exchange, Jackson asked Daniels for his Commanders jersey.

CBS Sports reporter Tracy Wolfson pointed out the mutual respect between the two quarterbacks and asked Jackson what they talked about during their brief postgame chat. Jackson responded, “I need that jersey… he’s definitely a great player. He’s just in his fifth game in the league, rookie year, the sky’s the limit for him.”
