Three former Seattle Seahawks players and coaches currently on the Washington Commanders lost in the NFC Championship on Sunday.
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn is one win away from the Super Bowl, but last time he got there, it did not go so well. In his first season with Washington, Quinn, along with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels,
Manuel began his NFL coaching career with the Seattle Seahawks under Dan Quinn in 2012. He was a defensive assistant in Seattle when the team won the Super Bowl during 2013 and served as the Seahawks assistant secondary coach in 2014.
Former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner continues to defy Father Time with yet another standout playoff performance. One week after Wagner had eight total tackles, half a sack and a fumble recovery in a Commanders 23-20 win over the Buccaneers, he practically did it again.
"The Seahawks have needed to upgrade the interior of their offensive line for years but have consistently fallen short in doing so. It is time for a serious investment in the middle, and adding Kelly, a four-time Pro Bowl player with the Indianapolis Colts, to help anchor the middle of the line could be a significant game-changer for the offense."
The Atlanta Falcons have hired former assistant Jeff Ulbrich, who spent the past four years with the New York Jets, as defensive coordinator.
The Seahawks Seahawks are flying Saints OC Klint Kubiak into town for a second, in-person interview. It’s looking more and more likely he won’t be returning next season:
The Washington Commanders' incredible postseason run came to an end in Sunday's NFC Championship game as they proved no match for the Philadelphia Eagles in a 55-23 defeat.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn is one win away from the Super Bowl, but last time he got there, it did not go so well. In his first season with Washington, Quinn, along with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels,
Daniels’ completion rate dipped from 69.7 percent to 65.8 percent after his 29-of-48 performance in Philadelphia, but he still edged out Brock Purdy for best rookie completion rate in a single postseason. John Elway technically had a 10/15 (66.7%) game in his playoff debut but was not a starter.
Daniels entered Sunday's NFC championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles five yards short of the record for most passing yards by a rookie in the playoffs. He got there early.
