On Sunday, the Washington Commanders defeated the New York Giants 21-18 on Austin Seibert’s game-winning field goal as time expired.
Here are some selected postgame quotes regarding the Commanders’ win.
“I think you got to feel very, very strong about today’s performance by the Washington Commanders offensively, with the caveat that they kicked seven field goals, and some of those need to be touchdowns.” Logan Paulsen
“There is not a lot of pass rush happening right now. Whether it is the guys in the middle who are getting paid a lot of money or these edge guys. Is that as much of a problem as it feels like it is, and then what do they do about it?” Craig Hoffman
“Washington worked so much on the red zone throughout camp. But, man, it has not yet paid off, to put it mildly. Too many mistakes/penalties each trip.” John Keim
Austin Seibert, in a postgame interview, said the Commanders are “the best work environment you can imagine.” Wow, did we ever hear that during the Dan Snyder era (1999-2023)?
“We did a great job competing to the end…we communicated much better this week. Everybody was feeding off of each other.” Mike Sainristil
“That’s what you live for…” Jayden Daniels on the final game-winning drive.
Benjamin St-Juste, on the forced fumble, said he “lost his contain and knew he had to hustle from behind.” This was a huge turnover.
“We’re still undecided,” and will keep looking to compete.” said head coach Dan Quinn on the secondary.
“Everyone came out and played hard. You know guys competed their a** off.” Brandon Coleman on his first NFL win.
“We got a win; that is all that matters. Doesn’t matter how you do it. Austin Seibert, Way to go, brother. We needed to get a drive. They got that drive, and he (Seibert) knocked it down the middle.” Brian Mitchell
“Who would have thought that we would be saying we actually won a game without scoring a touchdown. It’s great to see everybody come together and go out there. We got a good win.” Santana Moss
