Dan Quinn Addresses Commanders' Defensive Improvements

Head coach Dan Quinn addressed the Washington Commanders' recent defensive improvements, noting significant strides since he took over play-calling in Week 11. This change came after four consecutive losses, and Quinn remarked, 'I'm finding a battle rhythm,' indicating a newfound confidence in his coaching role.

His support staff has also expanded, with defensive coordinator Whitt assisting in developing call sheets and providing insights from the coaches' booth. Quinn emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards, saying, 'This is the standard.

This is what we like.' Despite the team's 3-9 record, he praised the players for their resilience and commitment, asserting that building good habits is essential for future success. The Commanders displayed improved defensive performance against the Denver Broncos, forcing multiple punts and limiting explosive plays, which Quinn described as the team's 'best group game' of the season. 'If that one went to six quarters, we were going to be down to fight,' he stated, reflecting on the team's tenacity.

Quinn is focused on pushing the team forward, aiming to maintain momentum as they head into the final stretch of the season and build towards the future.
