"To be a successful team in the NFL, you need a strong leader of men to set the example. The Commanders have that in Quinn, whose status as one of the league's elite motivators was evident during the 2024 season when he helped guide Washington from 4-13 to the NFC Championship game in his first season at the helm. He's an old-school customer, and he puts his money where his mouth is. That was evident on Sunday, when Quinn was absolutely rocked and got right back up like it was nothing."
"Just rub some dirt on it, like your mom used to tell you when you slipped and fell playing outside as a kid. Battle scars build character. Anyway, the Commanders seemed to use Quinn's scare as some extra fuel, as they've taken what was a tie 10-10 game midway through the second quarter and poured it on. The ground game has been dominant, and the special teams unit has stood out with rookie Jaylin Lane scoring a sensational punt return touchdown."
Washington dominated Las Vegas following a Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Late in the second quarter, Marcus Mariota was shoved out of bounds and ran into head coach Dan Quinn, who was knocked over and came up bleeding above his nose. Quinn rose immediately and displayed toughness that reflects his leadership. Quinn guided Washington from 4-13 to the NFC Championship, reinforcing his status as an elite motivator. The team used the incident as extra fuel, leaning on a dominant ground game and a strong special teams performance. Rookie Jaylin Lane returned a punt for a touchdown, and Mariota connected on a 56-yard strike to Terry McLaurin.
