Daniels took the field as QB1 against a veteran Tampa Bay Buccaneers team. Daniels was 17-for-24 for 184 yards and used his legs to get on the board in the third quarter when he ran the ball into the end zone from the 1-yard line. He did not have a passing touchdown.
Tampa Bay defeated Washington 37-20.
The Denver Broncos rookie won the starting job over Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson for coach Sean Payton. Nix threw for 138 yards and was intercepted twice against the Seattle Seahawks. He also used his legs to get into the end zone. Nix had a 4-yard rushing touchdown with 2:09 left in the game. But it was too little, too late.
