Dan Quinn emphasized the importance of the Washington Commanders staying focused on controllable factors and approaching their playoff push one game at a time. Their immediate goal is securing a road win against the New Orleans Saints in Week 15.

Following a bye week, the Commanders are well-rested but face added pressure after the Los Angeles Rams defeated the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football, tightening the playoff race. The Saints, missing key players like quarterback Derek Carr, present an opportunity for Washington to capitalize.

The game will be emotionally charged for Marshon Lattimore, making his debut against his former team. His motivation could inspire the Commanders to a strong performance. To succeed, Washington must start fast, quiet the crowd, and disrupt Saints backup QB Jake Haener. A win would mark their ninth of the season and boost their postseason hopes.
