The Washington Commanders were not going to score 31 points in the final eight minutes. And yet, head coach Dan Quinn opted to keep quarterback Jayden Daniels in the firing line despite his injury problems this season.
This plan backfired spectacularly. Daniels fell awkwardly, and it now looks like he'll potentially miss the rest of 2025 with a dislocated elbow that removes any slim hope the Commanders had of turning their campaign around.
Questions were immediately asked of Quinn. There was no benefit whatsoever to keeping Daniels on the field, and everyone watching knew it.
