Exactly three years ago — on Jan. 21, 2022 — Dan Quinn walked into the Giants ’ training facility in East Rutherford and interviewed for their head coaching vacancy.

The Washington Commanders have been calm during their playoff run, which has led them to the NFC Championship.

One Cowboys defender is watching Dan Quinn change the culture for the Commanders, much to his immediate surprise.

While the Washington Commanders are enjoying Jayden Daniels’ rookie season, Dan Quinn said the team is ready for the next step. And Quinn also shouted out the lit Lions fans after the wild win on Saturday, according to a post on X by JP Finlay.
