You can't offer a higher compliment than the one Stefon Diggs paid his quarterback, Jayden Daniels, on Thursday night.
The Commanders took on the New York Giants in an NFC East showdown on Thursday Night Football. The drive culminated when Diggs hauled in a 32-yard touchdown reception on a pass from Daniels.
Daniels threw two interceptions before the drive, but bounced back on the final drive to help the Commanders secure a crucial win, finishing with 249 passing yards and three touchdowns. After the game, Diggs was asked what Daniels was like in the huddle at the end of the game, and he offered up what might be the compliment every athlete dreams of earning.
"Kobe Bryant. Poised. He didn't flinch, he looked the exact same. He knew we were going
to have a chance to win, he echoed that, and we rallied behind him," Diggs said.
"Kobe Bryant. Poised."
