Washington commanders embrace all things ‘weird’ after Dallas Cowboys loss

The Washington Commanders have been involved in some crazy games this season, including their Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Cowboys led 10-9, but the game ended in a 34-26 finish after two kickoff returns for touchdowns from Dallas and 17 points from Washington in the last three minutes of the match.

Commandants coach Dan Quinn spoke about the wild ending at his post-game press conference.

‘Yes, a lot of strange things have happened. I love it,” Quinn said. “And that’s what I want, that belief to disappear, because as a freshman group we’ve been tested more than most in this battle. And you want to be able to do that, that’s kind of why I said what I said at the beginning. It’s not just about learning them and being in these winning moments at the end of the game, and we won a few, but I want to make sure every time that this is the advantage, this is. where to go, this is the time to go And I find It’s great that we’re never out of contention, but I want to make sure it doesn’t have to go into that space. And that part is one that we’re going to work hard to get right.”

The strange endings, including the Hail Mary against the Chicago Bears and Thursday Night Football’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, have Commanders to embrace the mentality of playing four full quarters and every second within the 60 minutes of action. However, they must figure out how to take these lessons and translate them into victories.
