Commanders' Dan Quinn is not about one-game declarations, but

Dan Quinn is not about one-game statements, but he understands Thursday's game is massive.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn emphasized that Thursday night's game against the NFC East division leaders, the New York Giants, could be a make-or-break moment for the season on Thursday. Following their 20-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, quarterback Jayden Daniels declared that a win is crucial for the Commanders to have any shot at making the playoffs.

After the Cowboys and Giants victories, the Commanders found themselves one game behind both rivals. Quinn, acknowledging the unpredictability of the season, stated that he usually avoids making one-game declarations. However, he reiterated the team's urgent need to secure a victory in Thursday's matchup. The Commanders' slim chances of catching both the Cowboys, leading the division by two games, and the Giants, trailing by three games, make Thursday's game pivotal for their playoff hopes.

A win could provide the team with some hope of making a run, while a loss would undoubtedly render the playoffs out of reach.
