Criticism and Coach’s Response
Quinn came under criticism as numerous felt the rookie ought not to have been on the field to begin with. The incident happened in the final period with the Washington behind 38-7, making a recovery improbable.

Fallout and Squad Prospects
Mariota will be the team’s primary QB going forward, but he will guide a roster in turmoil.

They additionally lost cornerback Marshon Lattimore (torn ACL) and pass-catcher Luke McCaffrey (broken collarbone) on game day, and have a number of other starters on the injury list. The Washington squad are 3-6 so far, and it would take a huge turnaround for the team to make the playoffs.
