Atlanta Falcons fired head coach Dan Quinn on October 11, 2020, after a series of historic late-game collapses. Exactly six years later, on October 11, 2026, Quinn, now coaching Washington, drew criticism for botching one of the simplest game-winning situations in NFL history in a game against the New York Giants, reviving talk of his pattern of late-game mistakes.

Why now: The eerie coincidence of the same date six years apart and another late-game blunder is prompting fans to link Quinn's past and present failures.
