Jayden Daniels may want to tamp it down a little.

On Monday night, during the Washington Commanders' first drive against the Cincinnati Bengals, Daniels looked in control and even made a pretty sweet highlight. Though his coaching staff probably wished he hadn't.

On second-and-9 from Cincinnati's 14-yard line, Daniels dropped back to pass, but his options were all covered. He decided to run the ball and scrambled up the middle through the Bengals' defense and even split three defenders before getting into the end zone for a touchdown. It was a brilliant run.

It was a really nice run by Daniels, but not one a starting quarterback should make during the preseason. The entire fanbase was almost certainly holding its collective breath while he made his way through Cincinnati's defense.

As you'd expect, Daniels's night was done after that touchdown. There was no need to expose him to more danger.
