It doesn’t take much to sell Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs hosting Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders on “Monday Night Football.” The best quarterback in the league against a rising star coming off a historic rookie season.

Daniels was officially ruled out on Thursday with a low-grade hamstring strain he suffered in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Dan Quinn said the injury is not significant or long term and that the team wanted Daniels to focus on rehabbing to be ready for Week 9. Daniels has already missed two games this season with a knee injury.
