Dan Quinn’s Commanders debut full of familiar, frustrating feelings
New York TimesTAMPA, Fla. — “It’s déjà vu all over again.” The New York Yankees hold spring training annually around the corner from where the Washington Commanders opened the 2024 season. Tampa converted 9 of 13 third down attempts to the Commanders’ 2-of-8 Bucs kicker Chase McLaughlin made all three field goal tries, including a 56-yarder for the game’s first points, while Cade York, in his first regular-season game with Washington, missed his two attempts and cost the team field position with a kickoff that went out of bounds. “That was the story of the game.” Daniels’ attempted screen pass on Washington’s first offensive play became a lateral, thrown behind running back Brian Robinson, resulting in a 15-yard loss and a 3-and-out drive. Asked if another set of kicker tryouts loomed, Quinn said, “We’ll have a good talk about that and see where we’re at.” That sentiment applies to other parts of the team after an opening loss.
