"Even before it happened, this had the look of a lost season for the Washington Commanders. They were well on their way to losing their third straight game by at least 20 points. The last time that happened? When they got blown out in the first three contests of the 2001 season. That was an unsurprisingly middling squad. This team was expected to be a Super Bowl contender."
"That was going to be the last drive for a couple of guys: Jayden and Zach [Ertz] and Deebo [Samuel] and [Laremy Tunsil]. We were going to have read-run plays, meaning no carries for the quarterback on a run. Honestly, man, that's where I missed it. Of course, he could scramble. It's Jayden. It's what he's special at. And that is 100 percent, that's on me."
Washington Commanders' season unraveled after quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a left elbow dislocation while being sacked late in a game, with X-rays showing no fractures and an MRI planned. Daniels is almost certain to be placed on injured reserve, sidelining him at least four games and leaving his return timetable uncertain. Coach Dan Quinn acknowledged fault for keeping Daniels in during a 31-point deficit and called the decision a misstep. Expectations of a Super Bowl run have evaporated as the team slides toward losses and growing fan focus on draft positioning rather than the playoff race.
