Dan Quinn didn’t know it was 4th down on bizarre Jayden Daniels throwaway during Commanders-49ers
The Commanders once again showed terrible situational awareness in the second quarter of the Week 6 game.
In a perplexing turn of events during a Week 6 game against the San Francisco 49ers, Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn appeared to be unaware that his quarterback, Jayden Daniels, had committed an errant fourth-down play. After the New York Giants' clock management issues in their previous matchup, the Commanders had already faced scrutiny for their decision-making, but this incident took the situation to new extremes.
As per the account by NBC Sports’ J.P. Finlay, it seems Quinn himself may have been in the dark about the down, asserting that the play was actually third down. The comments came in the wake of Quinn's record shattering performance last week, where the Commanders found themselves in overtime, squandering a golden opportunity for a field goal due to poor clock management.
The situation has sparked a wave of calls for Quinn's dismissal, with the Commanders now standing at a 1-3-1 record after five games.
