The Washington Commanders took one last roll of the dice in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. Head coach Dan Quinn moved defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. from the booth to the sideline amid pressure. They believed this could help improve communication, and it reportedly came at the players' request.
It did not have the desired effect.
Whitt's defense was nothing short of woeful as the Commanders fell to another crippling loss on home soil. The season is now officially over at 3-7. And Quinn needs to make a tough decision on his assistant's future.
