Overview
- Washington allowed a probable win to become a 27-27 tie when, in overtime, the offense failed to stop the clock and could not snap another play before time expired.
- The misstep unfolded on Sunday when Jayden Daniels took a sack with about 14–15 seconds left and no timeouts, then slid in bounds instead of stopping the clock, costing Washington a chance at a game-winning field goal.
- Daniels publicly accepted responsibility for the sequencing error, saying the offense must 'stop the clock' and that the outcome was ultimately on him.
- Micah Parsons publicly blamed Daniels on his podcast, saying the QB's lapse could cost head coach Dan Quinn his job, and betting markets quickly made Quinn the favorite to be the next NFL coach fired.
- Quinn acknowledged regular, candid conversations with owner Josh Harris, denied an imminent firing, and faces mounting pressure as the 1-3-1 Commanders prepare to play the 5-0 San Francisco 49ers next.
