Dan Quinn is busted open. The Washington Commanders head coach was on the receiving end of friendly fire from quarterback Marcus Mariota .

Mariota, starting in place of the injured Jayden Daniels , was running out of bounds when a shove from a Las Vegas Raiders defender sent him crashing into Quinn. The 55-year-old Quinn had nowhere to go, and he took a direct shot to his face from Mariota’s helmet. The back of Quinn’s head also appeared to hit the ground.
