Sorting the NFL Sunday Pile, Week 4: Jayden Daniels is a superstar and revenge was on the menu everywhere

Breaking down the biggest stories of Week 4 of the NFL season
Jayden Daniels has arrived, and he brought revenge with him. The rookie quarterback has been just good the whole season, honestly, but Sunday's follow up to his explosive performance in Week 3's Monday upset of the Bengals was just as impressive. And it helped give the man who calls plays for him, Kliff Kingsbury, a chance to stick it to his old employer in the Cardinals during the 42-14 beatdown of the Cardinals.
Kliff's been in his bag the last two weeks, stretching the field a little more than the start of the season. The Commanders ripped off 16 straight scoring drives (not counting kneeldowns) tying the 2019 Ravens and 2018 Saints for the most since 2000. The Commanders' 42 points were the most by the team since the 2016 season. It's the first time Washington has scored 30 points in back-to-back weeks since 2017.
It helps to have someone of Daniels' talent pulling the trigger. A week after completing more than 90 percent of his passes, Daniels was locked in again this week, going 26 for 30 for 233 yards, including a laser beam touchdown throw to Terry McLaurin.
