David Harrison· Jul 23, 2026

Harrison predicted the Commanders would blow out the Eagles in Week 1, giving a score of about 35-10 with six sacks and at least one interception from the Washington defense, and floated Jayden Daniels producing the best Comeback Player of the Year story ever.

“there's gonna be six sacks by this Washington mayor's defense, at least one interception by this Washington mayor's defense, and the Washington mayor's gonna win this thing about 35 to I'll give them 10”
