Dan Quinn said that yes he did know it was a fourth down play. Said someone asked him on the headset about the illegal shift. Quinn told them they couldn’t now kick a FG

Intentional grounding:
#Commanders QB Jayden Daniels said he felt taking the intentional grounding penalty was worth it rather than eating the sack. All of his receivers were downfield, so that might've burned more time than the 10-second runoff.

Would've helped if he had an outlet underneath.
