Tom Brady makes wild 28-3 reference involving Dan Quinn during Commanders’ authoritative playoff win over Lions

Then, in the fourth, they forced turnovers and scored again to take the score up to 45-31 with just under five minutes to play. Sensing the game was all but over, Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris came down from his owner’s box to be beside his players. Seeing that, Tom Brady said this from the commentator’s booth.

Not sure coach Quinn likes owners coming down on the field before the game is over.

Tom Brady said

This was a cheeky reference to the last time an owner went down to the field when Dan Quinn was the head coach. The reference was to Super Bowl LI when Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank came down on to the field with his team up 28-3 with more than two minutes to go in the third quarter.

But then, Tom Brady and his New England Patriots started a comeback that saw them tying the game 28-28. The game went into overtime and the Patriots won to record the largest comeback in Super Bowl history. Brady was referencing to that while trying to troll Dan Quinn.

Dan Quinn does not see history repeat itself

There are several instances in the NFL when a situation results in something that is a repeat of a past occurrence. Thankfully for Dan Quinn, the situation Tom Brady was referring to did not repeat. His Washington Commanders kept that score and finished the game to record a famous win.

Quarterback Jayden Daniels did not record a turnover or a sack against that formidable Detroit Lions defense. Instead, it was the Commanders defense that forced Jared Goff into three interceptions, one fumble and another interception of a trick play.

The Washington Commanders won a playoff game for the first time in nearly twenty years last week. Now this divisional round win becomes the first in 34 years since their last one. That last one culminated into their last Super Bowl win.
