Commanders' Dan Quinn Reacts to 2026 Season Slipping Away
Puka Nacua had 14 catches for 150 yards as Washington fell 20-13 and Quinn said the team must move on quickly.
The Washington Commanders fell 20-13 to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026, dropping to 2-5-1. Head Coach Dan Quinn said the team must "turn the page quickly" after the defeat in Landover, Maryland.
After taking a 10-3 lead, Washington's offense stalled, punting four times and fumbling once. The Commanders have won only against the Philadelphia Eagles over the past six weeks, highlighting a season-long consistency problem.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 24 of 35 passes for 274 yards, but Rams receiver Puka Nacua dominated with 14 receptions for 150 yards and a touchdown. The Rams' rushing duo of Blake Corum and Kyren Williams combined for 103 yards.
Facing a short week, the Commanders must prepare for the NFC East-leading New York Giants on Thursday night. Quinn expressed optimism that cornerback Amik Robertson can play Thursday despite an ankle injury.
An end-of-game sequence where Washington failed to score from the 31-yard line raised questions about execution. Quinn said he is "chasing" consistent football, emphasizing that a healthy roster must deliver results for the team to win.
