"Quinn was the head coach of the Falcons for five seasons between 2015 and 2019, before being unceremoniously fired five games into the 2020 campaign. During his tenure, he led Atlanta to a pair of playoff appearances and, most notably, a Super Bowl appearance, where they infamously blew a 28-3 lead to the New England Patriots. Despite his era ultimately being remembered for the wrong reasons, Quinn helped the Falcons reach some of their loftiest heights in franchise history."
"Quinn, on the other hand, has found a new home where he is thriving. After three successful seasons as the Dallas Cowboys' defensive coordinator, he's become an immediate home-run hire with the Commanders, leading them to a 12-5 record and the NFC Championship game in Year 1. He's a culture guy first and foremost. He has also learned some tactical lessons since the Super Bowl capitulation, adopting a more aggressive offensive strategy in Washington."
The Washington Commanders travel to Atlanta aiming to improve to 3-1 amid injury concerns for quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin, both listed as questionable. Reports have conflicted about McLaurin's quad issue, creating uncertainty for Commanders fans. The Falcons represent a winnable matchup on the road, and a victory would be gratifying for head coach Dan Quinn. Quinn previously led the Falcons from 2015–2019, including a Super Bowl appearance and infamous 28-3 blown lead. Atlanta has not made the playoffs since 2017 and has struggled in the 2020s. Quinn has thrived in Washington, guiding a 12-5 season and an NFC Championship game appearance in Year 1 while emphasizing culture and a more aggressive offense.
