The Washington Commanders take on one of the worst defenses in the NFL, the Carolina Panthers, for their Week 7 matchup.
Even though the Panthers have allowed the most points and fourth-most yards in the league all season, there are still some players that could pose problems for the Commanders’ offense.
For rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, he knows how good Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn can be.
“Yes, a team that can fly. [Carolina Panthers CB] Jaycee Horn is a good player, very physical, and they like to get their hands on the ball,” Daniels said. “They’re a good tackling team. There aren’t many missed tackles that they miss. So, on the ground, how can we break some leverage and gain a few extra yards after the catch-up run? So it’s going to be fun to be able to play against him this week. »
Horn, who turns 25 next month, has 27 tackles in six games this season, matching his total from last year after playing in that many games. He struggled with injuries most of last year, but is now healthy. He leads the Panthers secondary, so he’s definitely a player the COs need to keep an eye on heading into the game.
Kickoff between the Panthers and Commanders is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+.
