GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is wearing a sticker of a Japanese flag on the back of his helmet to honor his great grandmother.

Daniels’ helmet sported the Japanese flag for the Commanders’ season-opening 21-6 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday. He said after that game that his great grandmother was Japanese, and he had put the flag on his helmet as a tribute to her.

His helmet bore the Japanese flag again Thursday for the Commanders’ 27-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Japanese flag is positioned right below an American flag sticker.
