Dan Quinn asked about the late game moments if tough to take: “No, it’s awesome. It’s the best part of coaching… Doing that kind of hard shit with really good people, that’s as fun as it gets. It doesn’t always work out in your favor… can’t feel more alive.”

Quinn on the impact of Wagner, Ertz: “… very high standards, really high, and i thought that alone is a standard of what excellence and winning can look like. If you’re trying to do something… look to those examples first.”

Jayden Daniels at the podium. Said the Detroit defense is going to be a challenge. They’re good up front and play a lot of man coverage because they trust their personnel

Love this from Jayden – says he still gets butterflies before games. His father told him, “butterflies means your alive.” pic.twitter.com/EL0eEl3Xbh

Daniels on the last time he was nervous on the field: doesn’t think he’s ever been nervous on the field because he makes sure he’s prepared. He gets butterflies, but his dad said that if you feel butterflies, it means your alive

Detroit is going to be loud on Saturday.

That Lions fan base is hungry for a trip to the Super Bowl.

The fearless Commanders.

This team is ready for Detroit.

The Commanders are locked in for this game against the Lions.

They are using the doubters as fuel.

Amazing season so far for the Washington Commanders.

But they ain’t done yet.

Last week, Washington got the job done in Tampa Bay.

Saturday, they will try to do the same in Detroit.
