Commanders Hand Defensive Play-Calling to Dan Quinn as Joe Whitt Jr. Endorses the Change

Whitt says the move is about results after a five-game slide.

Overview

  • Washington fell to 3-7 and gave up 44 points to the Lions in Week 10 with Quinn already calling the defense.
  • Whitt remains the defensive coordinator but no longer handles in-game defensive calls.
  • Quinn and Whitt previously collaborated in Atlanta and Dallas and helped power a highly regarded Washington defense in 2024.
  • Injuries have sidelined key players, with Jayden Daniels among those missing time, as the defense has regressed this season.
  • The next test comes against the Dolphins in Madrid in Week 11, with kickoff set for 9:30 a.m. ET.
