Dan Quinn Hot Seat Meter: Commanders reach must-win territory after 1-3 start

Writer Dean Jones argues that Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn faces increasing pressure following a 1-3 start to the season. The Commanders have dropped three of four games this year, extending a 3-13 run across their last 16 regular-season games dating back to last season. Following a loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Jones considers Washington's upcoming matchup against the 3-1 New York Giants a must-win contest to prevent the campaign from unraveling.

Washington has dealt with major quarterback injuries, including a sprained MCL for veteran backup Marcus Mariota in London. However, starting quarterback Jayden Daniels is expected to return after missing two games with an elbow issue, with Quinn planning for him to practice fully before facing New York.
