"This wasn't the primetime statement head coach Dan Quinn had in mind. The Washington Commanders once again started slowly before finding their groove. But they were made to pay for too many sloppy errors and a defensive regression during their late meltdown against the Chicago Bears. Quinn was visibly displeased before the game. The strain is starting to show, even though the Commanders are 3-3 and not out of the fight yet by any stretch of the imagination."
"This was a tight game with very little between the two clubs. One could point to veteran kicker Matt Gay's missed field goal as a significant influence on the result. However, giving up three turnovers while not creating any of your own was a far greater factor. Unsurprisingly, this didn't go unnoticed by Quinn. This is not the standard Washington has set under his guidance. And he made it clear that this will not be tolerated any longer."
""We've become way too accustomed to digging ourselves out of holes. Two early turnovers. One late. All three phases dug the hole. We didn't create any takeaways, finished minus-three. You really don't deserve to win many games when you're in that space. Honestly, just didn't perform well enough. A lot that needs our attention. Can't have that." Dan Quinn via NBC4 Sports"
Washington once again produced a slow start, rallied briefly, then suffered a late defensive regression that contributed to a loss against the Chicago Bears. The team committed three turnovers and generated zero takeaways, finishing minus-three in turnover differential, which proved more decisive than Matt Gay's missed field goal. Coach Dan Quinn appeared visibly frustrated and issued a blunt warning demanding accountability from players and staff. Slow starts have been an ongoing issue dating to last season. The Commanders are 3-3 and remain in contention, but they need coaching adjustments, cleaner execution, and defensive improvement.
