Jayden Daniels enters 2026 season eyeing Washington franchise touchdown record

The Washington Commanders begin their 2026 regular season with a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Quarterback Jayden Daniels enters the year looking to surpass the franchise record of 31 touchdown passes set by Sonny Jurgensen in 1967. While Washington experienced offensive success in 2024, production declined in 2025 following injuries to Daniels and internal coaching changes. The team enters the new season under head coach Dan Quinn with a retooled roster featuring free agent tight end Chig Okonkwo, veteran receiver Stefon Diggs, and rookie Antonio Williams. Dyami Brown also returns to the deep receiving corps after a season in Jacksonville. The team aims to improve upon its 2025 record after missing the playoffs, with the immediate task being a divisional game against the defending NFC East champions.
