How each side covered it
From the left
Left-leaning outlets centered Washington’s missed closing chance, splitting blame between Daniels’ scramble and Quinn’s late play call. The Guardian framed Daniels’ late scramble as the blunder that squandered a winning chance, while also stressing that Winston’s furious comeback followed Washington’s blown two-touchdown fourth-quarter lead. Mediaite cast Quinn’s extra snap as a senseless coaching error compounded when Daniels failed to throw the ball away.
