Quick Summary

Tom Brady used an expletive during a live broadcast when Jayden Daniels, the Commanders’ quarterback, suffered what appeared to be a severe arm injury while playing against the Cowboys. The injury occurred as Daniels fell awkwardly after attempting to break his fall. This comes just days after Caleb Williams was sidelined with a hamstring injury. Brady later apologized for his on-air reaction, stating he did not expect such an event. Daniels had been carted off with a towel covering his head, prompting concerns among fans given his history of elbow issues that previously caused him to miss significant playing time in the 2025 season.

Story summary

On September 20, Washington Commanders faced an urgent challenge in their game against the Dallas Cowboys, both teams having suffered opening losses. The match at AT&T Stadium in ARLINGTON, Texas saw Dak Prescott break Tony Romo’s franchise record for touchdown passes by throwing four in a 37-20 victory over Washington. Commanders’ quarterback Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow again, mirroring an injury from last season that sidelined him for several games. X-rays on Daniels' elbow came back negative but the extent of the damage remains uncertain. The incident occurred when Daniels tripped and used his arm to brace himself during a play at halftime, leading coach Dan Quinn to replace him with backup Marcus Mariota for the remainder of the game. This recurring injury could significantly impact Washington's season as they now face another period without their star quarterback.

Narrative

Daniels, the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft — one slot after Williams — dropped back as the Commanders were in the Cowboys’ red zone and immediately fell awkwardly, prompting Brady to curse on the live Fox broadcast. “Oh s–t,” Brady exclaimed, as did many others, in all likelihood, while watching Daniels. Brady apologized and later added that he “was not expecting to see” that.
