5 bold predictions for Commanders QB Jayden Daniels in Week 6 at Ravens

Jayden Daniels secures a 120.0 passer rating

The pressure on Jayden Daniels' shoulders is immense. Expectations are growing with every passing week and with every outstanding display. And yet, the Washington Commanders are playing with house money to a certain extent at the Baltimore Ravens.

Nobody expected the Commanders to be 4-1 at this juncture. Many are tipping them to take this positive momentum and surge into a fight for the NFC East crown. But even if they lose to the Ravens, it's not the end of the world looking at the games upcoming on their schedule.

Baltimore is the team under more scrutiny. They are the favorites and are expected to make a deep playoff run. This should allow Daniels and the offense to play with a sense of freedom while keeping the same mindset of fearing nobody and executing the game plan effectively.

If Daniels can relax and get into an early rhythm, achieving a 120.0 passer rating in Week 6 represents a bold yet attainable target for the promising signal-caller. This would also indicate he's matched Lamar Jackson every step of the way.

Jayden Daniels gains 4 combined touchdowns

The Commanders' red-zone efficiency has been much improved over the last three games. They are finding ways to turn their opportunities into touchdowns, which was the big criticism that emerged from their narrow win over the New York Giants in Week 2. That must continue in Week 6 at the Baltimore Ravens.

There will be finer margins and higher stakes versus a team that is expected to go deep into the postseason once again. Jayden Daniels needs to continue with his ruthless streak and drive this team forward in key moments. That's the only way the Commanders are going to shock the NFL world with victory at M&T Bank Stadium.

Daniels threw a red-zone interception against the Cleveland Browns. It didn't matter much in the grand scheme of things as Washington steamrolled to a comfortable success. That won't be the case this weekend because Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry will make them pay.

The Cajon High School product needs to put up points by any means necessary. Daniels must take on the challenge and go toe-to-toe with another phenomenal quarterback. Accumulating four combined touchdowns wouldn't be a bad place to start. Whether it's enough is another matter.
