Jayden Daniels gets ripped by NFL superstar

One NFL superstar is putting the blame firmly on Jayden Daniels for the disastrous ending to Sunday’s game between the Washington Commanders and New York Giants.

Green Bay Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons had some harsh words for Daniels on the latest episode of his “The Edge” podcast. Parsons said Daniels might end up costing Commanders head coach Dan Quinn his job, and that Daniels has no excuse for not being ready to run another play with the clock running down in overtime.

“Jayden Daniels probably cost my man Dan Quinn his job,” Parsons said. “I’m a big Jayden Daniels fan, but the reality is he probably cost a lot of people their jobs this past weekend.

“There’s no way I’m taking a sack with 14 seconds and no timeouts. It would be different if Jayden Daniels was a rookie. This is your third year. You’ve been to the NFC Championship game. You’ve been in big moments before. Even after a sack, you’re casually getting up. Look at the play. He’s not even urgently getting up.”

While Quinn took responsibility for the fiasco that cost the Commanders a chance to win Sunday’s game, Daniels is taking plenty of the blame for the confusion and lack of urgency. Parsons’ comments are more pointed than most, and it should be noted that he played for Quinn when the Commanders coach was the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive coordinator.

For now, Daniels does not appear to have cost Quinn his job. It may, however, be a matter of time with Washington off to a 1-3-1 start.
