Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn is set to face off against longtime friend and Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin this Sunday. Their relationship spans 30 years, dating back to their time at the College of William & Mary and later at the Virginia Military Institute.
Quinn's last encounter with Tomlin's Steelers resulted in a heavy defeat, and he aims to avoid a repeat performance. The Commanders, currently leading the NFC East, face a tough challenge against the 6-2 Steelers, who have bolstered their roster ahead of the game.
Both teams have made significant trades recently, with the Commanders acquiring cornerback Marshon Lattimore and the Steelers adding wide receiver Mike Williams and pass rusher Preston Smith. Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels will need to navigate a formidable Pittsburgh defense led by T.J. Watt, while Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson looks to continue his resurgence after a rocky start to the season.
