The condition was serious enough that the TV coverage did not show replays and several athletes looked away as he was treated by team doctors.
Backlash and Leader’s Response
Coach Quinn faced scrutiny as numerous believed Daniels should not have been on the playing surface in the first place. The injury occurred in the fourth quarter with the Washington behind 38-7, making a comeback improbable.

“I get that. I’ve been thinking about it nonstop, too, and, wow, I missed it,” he said of his choice to keep Daniels in the game. “This is 100% my fault.”

Mariota will be the Commanders’ primary QB from now on, but he will lead a roster in disarray. Following reaching the conference title game the prior year thanks to Daniels’s brilliance, the franchise have faced difficulties this season. They additionally saw injuries to cornerback Marshon Lattimore (ACL tear) and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (collarbone fracture) on game day, and have a number of other key players on the injury list. The Washington squad are three wins and six losses so far, and it would take a massive reversal for the club to reach the playoffs.
