Jayden Daniels faces scrutiny after loss to 49ers, pressure on Dan Quinn grows
Summary

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels continued his winless streak following a 23-17 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers on October 19, 2026. Daniels has not secured a victory in over a year, raising questions about head coach Dan Quinn's future. Against San Francisco, he completed 29 of 40 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns, but late-game decisions and execution issues contributed to the loss. The Commanders, now 1-4-1 this season, will have a bye in Week 7 before facing the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8, where they hope to return to form.
