Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn and several former Dallas Cowboys are set to face their old team this Sunday, renewing a historic rivalry as Washington hosts Dallas at Northwest Stadium. The Commanders, who revamped their roster in the offseason, brought in five ex-Cowboys, including Tyler Biadasz, Dorance Armstrong, Dante Fowler, Noah Brown, and Noah Igbinoghene. This matchup marks their first chance to compete against their former team.
While Quinn downplays the emotional aspect of the game, some players admit there’s extra motivation. “It’s one of the biggest games for me,” Armstrong said. Fowler added, “I couldn’t really touch the quarterback when I was there, so it’ll be cool to get him a couple times.”
Washington, led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, aims to rebound from a two-game losing streak against a struggling Dallas team that has lost five straight and will rely on backup quarterback Cooper Rush. The Commanders hope to channel the rivalry’s storied past into a strong performance, with Quinn leveraging the insider knowledge of his former Cowboys to prepare for the game.
Fans are eager to see if Washington can reclaim dominance in the 64-year-old rivalry, now fueled by fresh faces and renewed stakes.
