'The complimentary football in the second half was what we were looking for' – Dan Quinn credits team in Commanders' first road win

It took a full team effort as expected, and the Washington Commanders got its first road win of the season against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Throughout the season, one side of the ball would perform well, while the other would be a letdown, leading to difficult losses on the road. Getting quarterback Jayden Daniels back reignites the team just by being around and making big plays, and the defense fed off of it and had its best performance this season.

This was the first time since the Week 1 win against the New York Giants that the offense, defense, and special teams all contributed, leading to the most impressive win of the season.

Dan Quinn wasn't thrilled with the start, but things changed

It looked like a typical Commanders' road game that we've seen this season, as the defense struggled and allowed 10 points to start the game for the third straight time. The Chargers were driving down the field to go up 17-0, until the defense caused a fumble that changed all of the momentum. It's not about how you start, it's about how you respond, and head coach Dan Quinn acknowledges that.

"We were down 10 to nothing, then ahead 20 to 10," Quinn said. "We thought that would be a big deal for us coming into it. My favorite part of the game was the last drive, you know, to go six minutes and 30 seconds at the end, that's a big deal for us to have four minutes to be able to run the ball and go finish. . .I thought the complimentary football in the second half was what we were looking for. It wasn't there at the very beginning. I thought we had some self-inflicted wounds. So those were the things that I was pleased about in the game."
