Despite being listed as questionable before the game, the 23-year-old quarterback defied the odds, spending the week in recovery and preparation.<\/p>\n<p>Daniels reflected on the journey leading up to the game, explaining, &#8220;A lot of long hours, long days, but I put myself in the position to go out there.
