"wearing an unusual look: that of a ticked-off coach. He didn't lose control or scream. But he was firm with his replies to the assembled media. And none was as short as when Quinn was asked by one reporter if he was surprised where his team -- now 3-4 and having just dropped its second straight game -- was at this season. "Yes, very," he said."
"Back in the locker room, Jeremy McNichols sat at his stall, still in full uniform and with a towel draped over his head long after many players had showered. But he wasn't alone in those feelings. Longtime Washington player Jeremy Reaves dropped a rare F-bomb -- and quickly apologized for doing so -- when describing his feeling as the team approached the midway point of the season. "I'm pissed," he said. "We're so much better than what we're doing now.""
Dan Quinn appeared visibly upset after a 22-point loss to the Dallas Cowboys and acknowledged surprise at the Commanders' 3-4 record. He remained calm but spoke firmly about the team's performance and a defensive lapse that allowed a 72-yard touchdown drive just before halftime. Players expressed frustration in the locker room, with Jeremy McNichols lingering in uniform and Jeremy Reaves saying, "I'm pissed," and insisting the team is better than its results. The Commanders followed a 12-5, NFC Championship run and Jayden Daniels's Offensive Rookie of the Year season but now struggle with injuries, an underperforming defense, a tougher schedule, and unfavorable swings on key plays.
