NFC Notes: Jayden Daniels, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Commanders, Cowboys, Giants

NFL notes provide updates on NFC East teams, including the Commanders, Cowboys, and Giants. Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn praised quarterback Jayden Daniels for his mental toughness following a difficult end to a recent game, while reports indicate the late-game mistake will not affect Daniels' future contract extension. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys added Mike Pettine as a senior defensive assistant under defensive coordinator Christian Parker.

Elsewhere in the division, New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh defended edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux amid criticism of his stat sheet. Despite Thibodeaux seeking his first sack of the season, Harbaugh highlighted his game film, pointing to a key overtime play that forced Daniels to scramble as time expired in a 27-27 tie.
