Overview

  • Quinn said he will serve as defensive coordinator for the rest of the season, citing a need to change what's not working.
  • Whitt remains on staff and will assist from the press box after relinquishing snap-by-snap decisions.
  • Washington fell to 3-7 with a fifth straight loss, allowing 546 yards and scores on Detroit’s first eight drives.
  • The NFL suspended defensive tackle Daron Payne one game without pay for punching Amon-Ra St. Brown after an in-game ejection.
  • Quinn confirmed quarterback Jayden Daniels (left elbow) and receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) will miss the Madrid game, as the defense continues to rank near the bottom of the league.
