The injury was significant enough that the TV coverage avoided showing replays and multiple athletes looked away as he was treated by team doctors.
Criticism and Leader’s Response
Coach Quinn came under criticism as numerous believed the rookie should not have been on the playing surface in the first place. The injury happened in the final period with the Washington trailing 38-7, rendering a comeback unlikely. It is common in these situations for clubs to put in their reserve QB to prevent injuries to their first-string player.

Fallout and Team Prospects
Mariota will be the Commanders’ starting quarterback from now on, but he will lead a roster in disarray. Following reaching the NFC championship game last season thanks to Daniels’s excellence, the team have faced difficulties this season. They additionally lost cornerback Lattimore (torn ACL) and pass-catcher McCaffrey (collarbone fracture) on Sunday, and have a number of other starters on injured reserve. The Washington squad are 3-6 so far, and it would require a massive reversal for the team to reach the postseason.
