"Just a few short days later, they're anything but. The Commanders suffered an embarrassing shutout loss to the Minnesota Vikings. They were unprepared, unmotivated, and outcoached from start to finish. Jayden Daniels was pulled for his own safety despite the game being 14-0, and veteran tight end Zach Ertz is facing a fight to save his career after a serious ACL injury. It was a complete capitulation more in keeping with the darker days in franchise history."
"In fairness to Quinn, he didn't go on the defensive during his post-game media availability. He freely admitted that his team had taken a massive step back and that it was utterly unacceptable. The former Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator looked more dejected and jaded than ever, which isn't surprising when one considers how things have unfolded since their Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Chargers."
Dan Quinn delivered a locker-room message shown on HBO's Hard Knocks expressing belief that the team was no longer lost. Days later, the Commanders were shut out by the Minnesota Vikings in a game marked by poor preparation, lack of motivation, and being outcoached. Jayden Daniels was removed for his own safety with the score 14-0, and veteran tight end Zach Ertz suffered a serious ACL injury that jeopardizes his career. The loss resembled darker franchise eras and prompted criticism that Quinn's earlier optimism was contradicted by a team that appears to have regressed.
