## Coach Quinn's Job Security
Quinn called the mistake a 'scar that has to be permanent' and acknowledged the team's 1-3-1 record.

> It’s difficult. Some [moments linger] longer than others
## The Aftermath
The fanbase called for Quinn's job while players criticized the team's decision-making.

> Jayden Daniels probably cost my man Dan Quinn his job, to be honest with you
## What's Next
The Commanders face Monday Night Football against the 49ers with the meltdown still fresh.

> There’s so much that’s in front of us, and it’s gonna be an absolute battle

Washington Commanders' overtime loss to Giants leaves Jayden Daniels and coach Dan Quinn with a permanent scar to overcome.
