The ending of the Commanders’ 18-15 win over the Chicago Bears Sunday was the talk of the NFL. Every sports radio show and television show discussed the game, specifically, the play all day on Monday.
It was also a popular topic among other NFL players. In his latest edition of “The Edge,” Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons discussed the play with teammate Trevon Diggs. Both players spent the previous three seasons playing for current Washington head coach Dan Quinn, who was the Dallas defensive coordinator.
Parsons has never been shy about sharing his love for Quinn and the impact he’s made on his career.
After Parsons praised Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, Diggs turned the focus to Quinn.
“It’ll be about confidence, bro,” Diggs said. “Your coach putting that confidence in you, and he putting that battery in your back, you gonna go, every single time. You gotta have that coach that stands by you.”
Parsons then chimed in:
“And that’s who Dan represents,” Parsons said. “People don’t realize how high morale he had the team. The spirit he gave the defense. The energy, what he kinda gave all the players. Shark week, fight night, showing us boxing clips of MFers getting knocked out.”

Then Diggs says, “He had me ready to run through a wall; he’s just a genuine person.”
More from Parsons: “I see it from that Commanders team now.”
“Yeah, for sure,” Diggs said. “They don’t got like superstars, you know. But they play as a team. They play hard for one another. They look good.”
Quinn was criticized for the Cowboys’ playoff loss to the Packers in January. The defense was terrible. So was Dak Prescott, Mike McCarthy and the rest of the organization. It’s easy to forget that in his three years with Dallas, he was arguably the NFL’s top defensive coordinator.
Two of his former stars clearly still like and respect Quinn.
