Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders are headed to the NFC Championship with a 45-31 win over the Detroit Lions. And in the process of their second postseason victory, the rookie quarterback tied a Pittsburgh Steelers legend's record.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels equaled a record held by former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in his rookie 2004 season. That year, Roethlisberger helped lead the Steelers to a 15-1 record after stepping in for Tommy Maddox.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's record for the most wins as a rookie QB could soon be broken.

However, amidst defying the odds, Daniels has already made his mark in the history books. The Pro Football Hall of Fame social media account recognized his play by revealing that he, and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, are the only two rookie QBs to record 14 wins in their first season in the NFL.

Jayden Daniels joins an elite group of rookie QBs to win an NFL playoff game, leading the Washington Commanders to a historic victory.

Jayden Daniels, meet Slinging Sammy Baugh. The Commanders’ dynamic rookie quarterback accomplished a feat in his playoff debut that no quarterback in the NFL had done since Baugh during the franchise’s first season in Washington in 1937.

That includes four members of the 2018 draft class: Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. This is the fifth time that four QBs from the same draft class started in the same postseason, with the 2018 class also doing it last season, when Mason Rudolph got the nod instead of Darnold.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's record for the most wins as a rookie QB could soon be broken.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is closing in on a record held by a Pittsburgh Steelers legend.
