What Commanders HC Dan Quinn said:

On what makes QB Jayden Daniels different from other rookie quarterbacks who have made it to a conference championship: “Yeah, we don't think that way in terms of looking back at stuff. It’s honestly just into this game, man. He's got rare, in the moment skills that have allowed us to be into this spot. When it's mental chaos going down and two-minutes, in these tight moments where it could feel that tight, he's got the experience of somebody that's played a lot more football than a first year player."

On finding winning edges against Philadelphia: “Yeah, I think the natural narrative, ‘You know them and they know you.’ And I don't really think of it that way... To me, this is our first time playing them in the postseason. Game one, what needs to be different, what could be the same? What do we need to start doing? What do we need to stop doing? Same thing in the second game. And so, as you get into the third matchup with somebody, you want to make sure you have fresh eyes for the first two. ‘Hey, did I miss something?’ And was there something there that I didn't think we had or did? And both teams will have things on their call sheets that never got called in that game."

On how big an emphasis Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is this week: “Every single time that I've coached against him, he's been the emphasis, and he's a remarkable player... And so you have to be able to do right over and over again and not get bored with just being in the right spot over and over again and the tackling in games like this, it's just a premium."

What Commanders QB Jayden Daniels said:

On what it's like being one game away from playing in the Super Bowl: "It's a blessing to make it this far in the season. I know that countless teams want to be in this position, so it is blessing. Can't really take it for granted, but you also just gotta be in the moment and take it one day at a time."

On playing Philadelphia for a third time and on what needs to be different: “I think you put some different wrinkles into the game plan, and I'm pretty sure they will too. But at the end of the day, it's about execution and fundamentals and that's a very good team that we're going to face for a third time again.

On why the moment is never too big for him: “I just think for me, football is just, it's fun and like I said, it's like a safe haven for me. Everything I've been through personally in my life, so I'm not really going out there and stressing about the moment because at the end of the day, I get to do what I love each and every week.
