BALTIMORE (AP) — The Washington Commanders and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels figured they’d find out just how good they are in a matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, a perennial contender with a variety of weapons. After getting knocked around the field in a 30-23 loss Sunday, the upstart Commanders now understand that much work must be done before they can formally consider themselves part of the league’s upper echelon. Riding high on a four-game winning streak that landed them atop the NFC East, the Commanders were outdone by Baltimore’s aggressive defense and multi-faceted offense. Washington was no match in a game Commanders coach Dan Quinn acknowledged was more ‘lopsided’ than the score indicates.
