What happened: Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels addressed his teammates regarding the final play of Sunday's tie against the New York Giants and took full responsibility for the late-game execution. Cleared to play ahead of the Giants matchup, Daniels told reporters that game management on the field fell on him rather than head coach Dan Quinn and the coaching staff.

Why it matters: Daniels publicly absorbing the criticism shields Quinn from ongoing scrutiny over the clock and play-calling sequence at the end of regulation and overtime. Stepping in front of the locker room keeps the focus internal as Washington moves past the divisional stalemate.

What to watch: Washington turns its attention to Monday night's matchup against the unbeaten 5-0 San Francisco 49ers, who will be without suspended linebacker Dre Greenlaw.
