Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons did not hold back on his podcast when discussing Washington's botched final play Sunday. He said quarterback Jayden Daniels' mistake will probably end up getting Commanders coach Dan Quinn fired. Parsons, who played for Quinn when Quinn was his defensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys from 2021 to 2023, said, "Jayden Daniels probably cost my man Dan Quinn his job, to be honest with you."
With the score tied at 24 yards from the New York Giants' end zone, Washington had 50 seconds left in overtime but did not snap the ball again until 12 seconds remained. With no timeouts, Daniels scrambled and was tackled with eight seconds to play. Players were slow to get back to the line, and Washington ran out of time to stop the clock for a winning field goal attempt. The game ended in a 27-27 tie. Afterward, Daniels took accountability, saying, "Ultimately, it's on me."
Parsons said NFL players are coached extensively on end-of-overtime situations, even defensive players. He noted that Daniels is in his third season, has played in the NFC Championship Game and has no excuse for the mistake. "Inexcusable, bro," Parsons said, adding that the quarterback is in line for a big contract.
Quinn, hired in 2024, said Monday he met with owner Josh Harris and that no one is happy with the sequence or the team's 1-3-1 record. He said offensive coordinator David Blough called the final play, but that he is ultimately responsible. "All of that comes through me," Quinn said.
