Dan Quinn is going through more turmoil than he probably anticipated this season. The Washington Commanders rode a tidal wave of positivity under his leadership in 2024, propelling themselves from the proverbial wilderness and into contention much sooner than even the brightest optimist thought possible.
That's not the case this time around.
The Commanders are 3-5 following their second-half collapse against the Kansas City Chiefs. They are dealing with significant injury problems that have held the team back considerably. Quinn isn't looking for excuses, but this is a pretty good one in the grand scheme of things.
