Dan Quinn criticized for decision leading to Jayden Daniels injury

In a game against the Dallas Cowboys on September 20, 2026, Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn chose to keep the offense on the field with three seconds remaining in the first half. Quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered an elbow injury during the play, leading to severe criticism of Quinn’s decision to forgo an easy field goal attempt. Daniels had previously missed most of the last season due to injury. Social media reactions condemned Quinn's decision, with many calling it reckless and suggesting it could affect Daniels' future with the team. Updates on Daniels' condition are pending.
