Dan Quinn is on the verge of returning to the Super Bowl with the Washington Commanders eight years since his first trip with the Atlanta Falcons when they infamously blew a 28-3 lead and lost to New England.
Zach Ertz spent the first 8 1/2 years of his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles. He even helped them win a Super Bowl during that run.
Tom Brady made a hilarious joke during the Commanders and Lions game, referencing when he beat the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl.
The Patriots elected to attempt an onside kick, which consequently set up the Falcons at New England's 41-yard line. A holding penalty and nine-yard sack resulted in a three-play drive, and Atlanta was unable to capitalize on the excellent starting field position.
Yet, that was not Washington's first Super Bowl victory. In 1983, the team pulled off a shocking upset as Gibbs and quarterback Joe Theismann defeated Don Shula and the Miami Dolphins 27-17. Down 17-10 at halftime, Washington held Miami to 176 total yards and zero second-half points.
The Washington Commanders have a good one in quarterback Jayden Daniels, who shined in the 2024 NFL season's playoffs.
The Washington Commanders’ season that exceeded expectations ended with a thud in a 55-23 loss at Philadelphia in the NFC championship game
Daniels entered Sunday's NFC championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles five yards short of the record for most passing yards by a rookie in the playoffs. He got there early.
Daniels wanted to see the defeat through, even if that only meant handing off the ball on the final meaningless drive. Coach Dan Quinn had seen enough and gave Daniels a breather. His bid to become the first rookie QB to reach a Super Bowl was officially over.
A prime example of this, witnessed firsthand by Hernandez, was at the end of last week’s game against the Detroit Lions. At the top of a very steep ramp leading to the Commanders’ locker room–after playing one hell of a Divisional Round Playoff game–Daniels stood and waited for his teammates. And not just any teammates.
Washington coach Dan Quinn has the Commanders on the verge of returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1991 season. The Commanders, fresh off taking down No. 1 seed Detroit, are set to face the Eagles in the NFC Championship game at 3 p.
The Washington Commanders are rewriting playoff history with an extraordinary postseason run that has fans and analysts alike buzzing with
