The Washington Commanders took the brunt of the criticism Sunday after quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a gruesome arm injury in the team’s 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Daniels suffered the injury when the team was down 31 points with 7:39 left in the game, and will likely miss the rest of the year because of it.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn was criticized on social media for keeping Daniels in the game with the score already insurmountable.
Quinn didn’t have an answer for why Daniels was still in the game. Washington was driving down the field at the time the injury occurred. Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez scored on the next play.
“Obviously, in hindsight, you don’t want to think that way, where an injury could happen,” Quinn said. “We’re obviously more conservative on that point of executing and delivering and not having any pending reads, but just the end result, obviously, I’m bummed.”

Commanders players were visibly emotional as medical staff tended to the quarterback.
“It’s really hard to see him go down. You just want him to stay positive,” Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “You don’t know what the outcome is. You just talk a lot of positivity. He’s a very positive person, so we’re just praying for the best.”
Washington’s second-year star has already been dealing with injuries all season. He plagued the team after reaching the NFC Championship Game last year.
“I didn’t see exactly what happened. I just heard a pause and I put my head down and prayed for him,” said Commander Guard Sam Cosmi. “You just don’t want that to happen.”
