The Commanders ran out of time in overtime with a chance to kick a winning field goal, settling for a 27-27 tie with the Giants and setting off questions about coach Dan Quinn's job security.
Dan Quinn remains the Commanders' head coach, but he spent his Monday press conference trying to explain how his team let the clock run out in overtime with a chance to win the game. Washington had driven into field-goal range against the Giants, but with no timeouts left, time expired before the field-goal unit could get on the field, locking in a 27-27 tie.
Quinn did not hide his frustration. "Furious about our execution in the crucial moments of the game," he told reporters, adding that the team had worked hard on exactly these situations. "It didn't look like it. Pissed about it."
The game marked quarterback Jayden Daniels's return after missing two games with a dislocated left elbow, which made the ending sting more. Daniels took responsibility for the breakdown, saying it ultimately fell on him.
The fallout extended beyond the locker room. Speculation about Quinn's job security intensified through Monday, with Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin saying on ESPN that he would understand if a coach did not survive a mistake like this one.
