Micah Parsons says Jayden Daniels 'probably cost' Dan Quinn his Commanders head coach job after Week 5 tie
Jayden Daniels taking a sack instead of throwing the ball out of bounds cost the Washington Commanders a much-needed overtime victory against the New York Giants on Sunday.
Green Bay Packers star defensive end Micah Parsons believes that action, which led to a 27-27 tie in Week 5, cost Daniels’ head coach his job.
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn’s seat has been hot for some time, but it may be at a scorching level now after what occurred in Week 5 when Daniels went down in field goal range without a timeout and the clock hit zero in overtime to force a tie.

The Commanders were left stunned , as Quinn threw down his headset on the sideline knowing that his team should be 2-3 instead of 1-3-1.
And frankly, he had to know the questions and speculations about his job security would be even louder.
Parsons added to it during the latest episode of "The Edge with Micah Parsons," where he placed blame on Daniels in that final moment.

"I’m a big Jayden Daniels fan, but, the reality is he probably cost a lot of people their jobs this past weekend." Quinn was Parsons’ defensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys from 2021-23 before accepting the head coaching post with the Commanders.
The Commanders had blown a lead they held most of the game at home on Sunday, with Malik Nabers tying it up with a touchdown in the fourth quarter to force overtime.
And Giants kicker Dominic Zvada, who missed three field goals in the contest, missed a 46-yard attempt on the opening overtime drive.
Daniels should’ve just thrown the ball away, but debate over the final play in overtime has brought up the coaching staff and the team as a whole deserving blame – not just the signal-caller.
