The Washington Commanders defeated the Detroit Lions 45-31 in the NFC Divisional playoff matchup last Sunday, and after the win rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels swapped jerseys with Lions defensive back Terrion Arnold.

That is to say, Daniels also wrote a message to Arnold next to his autograph that read, "Cancun on 3! 1, 2, 3," which was taking a jab at his opponent's early offseason.

During the game, Daniels passed for 299 passing yards and two touchdowns, to go along with 51 rushing yards.
Still not over this Jayden Daniels throw.

This means after also putting up 268 yards through the air and 37 yards on the ground in the previous Wild Card matchup vs. the Bucs, Daniels is the only rookie in NFL history to have 300 combined yards in two postseason games.
Daniels was asked about the Lions fans trash talking him during the game last Sunday, and he says he let his play on the field do the talking.
With this in mind, he must have been saving it up for his "Cancun" message after the victory.

Now for their upcoming NFC Championship appearance, the Commanders (14-5) will have to travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles (16-3) at Lincoln Financial Field, which is known to be one of the tougher stadiums to play at.
Wild: The #Eagles vs. #Commanders cheapest get-in ticket is over DOUBLE the price of the #Bills vs. #Chiefs Championship playoff game:
• Chiefs/Bills ($228)
• Eagles/Commanders ($546)There are no fans like Philly fans. pic.twitter.com/oa48ZjjkoA

Game time is set for January 26 at 3:00 pm ET, which is when Daniels will find out whether or not he is joining Arnold next Sunday in Cancun.
