"I'll explain what I told the team postgame. I said, 'This stinks, and we've got to grow. That is a must.' I thought, really, third down was a huge factor in the game on both sides. Us. Them. We knew third and fourth down was going to be a big piece of it. But I also said that our two road games, we've started slowly, and our two home games, we haven't."
"This was not the return that Dan Quinn had in mind. His Washington Commanders squad was outmatched in defeat to the Atlanta Falcons, leaving the head coach red-faced and clearly infuriated against the team that had fired him. And make no mistake, Quinn let the entire locker room know about it. Nothing much went right for the Commanders. Missing so many influential players due to injury diminished their hopes, but Quinn was expecting a lot more from those who turned out at Mercedes-Benz Stadium."
Dan Quinn’s Washington Commanders were decisively beaten by the Atlanta Falcons, leaving the head coach visibly angry and vocal to the locker room. Multiple influential players missed the game due to injury, limiting team performance. The defense played lackluster football while Marcus Mariota’s limitations hindered any offensive comeback. Kicker Matt Gay was one of the few consistent positives. Quinn singled out third-down play and slow road starts as critical issues, demanded faster, more aggressive execution, and called for a strong response with an upcoming road game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
