With a new head coach in Dan Quinn and a rookie quarterback in Jayden Daniels, the Washington Commanders have reached the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 1992. Quinn is no stranger to Super Bowl appearances,

One year ago the Carolina Panthers were searching for their next head coach to replace Frank Reich, who had been fired after just 11 games on the job. Among the candidates they brought in for an interview was Dan Quinn, who's been around the league for a long-time as a defensive coordinator and former head coach with the Atlanta Falcons.

When he returned to the NFL after two years in Gainesville, Quinn gained notice by leading the Seahawks' defense in 2013, when they won the Super Bowl. After just two years as Seattle's defensive coordinator, Quinn got his first head coaching job with the Falcons.

Yes, drafting Jayden Daniels helped. But those who know Dan Quinn best aren't surprised that he turned a moribund franchise into a winner.

From Dan Quinn to a crazy defeat, the Washington Commanders are using manpower and motivation from the Dallas Cowboys to fuel their magical run to the NFC Championship Game.

The Falcons announced the hiring of Jeff Ulbrich as their new defensive coordinator on Saturday night. The team interviewed seven candidates this week following the firing of defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake on Jan. 11 after Lake’s one season with the team.

The Detroit Lions host the Washington Commanders in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs roughly a year since a few coaching decisions shaped the future of each organization.

The New York Jets interviewed Washington Commanders defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. for their head coach vacancy.

Quinn in his second NFL head coaching job has the Commanders in the NFC championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

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.

Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders’ improbable season ended in Philadelphia on Sunday. The Commanders lost to the Eagles 55-23 in the NFC championship game. The disappointment on Washington’s sideline was evident, but the Commanders should feel optimistic about the future of the franchise.
