Micah Parsons blames Jayden Daniels for clock mismanagement, says Commanders QB 'probably cost' Dan Quinn his job

Micah Parsons, the NFL’s five-time Pro Bowler and former Dallas Cowboys defensive standout, used his platform to criticize Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels for a costly clock-management blunder that contributed to the team’s 27-27 tie against the New York Giants last weekend. Speaking on his Bleacher Report show, *The Edge with Micah Parsons*, the defensive force—who was also the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator from 2021 to 2023—argued that Daniels’ handling of the final moments likely played a role in head coach Dan Quinn’s subsequent job loss.

The Commanders, trailing 27-13 late in the fourth quarter, reached field-goal range in overtime but failed to execute a timely spike, instead opting for a final play that resulted in a sack with no timeouts remaining. Daniels, now in his third NFL season and a veteran of the NFC Championship game, was criticized for his lack of urgency after the sack, with Parsons questioning his preparedness for high-pressure situations.

The missed opportunity sealed the tie, as the Giants’ kicker Dominic Zvada had earlier missed a game-winning 46-yard field goal attempt, and running back Cam Skattebo fumbled away another scoring chance in overtime.
