The Commanders lost yet another game they simply had to win, which has become a running theme of a 2026 campaign. Washington is now 2-5-1 when their season realistically circling the drain, now that a Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Rams was lost by a 20-13 score on Sunday at Northwest Stadium.
There was obvious and expected frustration from head coach Dan Quinn, quarterback Jayden Daniels (in press conferences) and others in the postgame locker room.
Quinn provided some answers to why the final play was a lateral — it was based on a certain look and expected Rams pressure that never materialized. He also said there was a play called and intended to be run on a key fourth down that ended in a delay of game. Ugh. Daniels took the blame for that. The passer also said the Giants game on Thursday is a literal must win. Here’s what was said after Sunday’s game:

Puka Nacua
Quinn on guarding Puka Nakua:
“In the zones, it can be challenging due to Matthew [Stafford]’s ability to deliver the ball to the right location, and so that can be true in zone where like if quarterback knows right where to go, that’s hard.
“But still 150’s still 150.”
