After two comeback victories, the Commanders’ offense sputtered against the Bills, who came into the game prepared for Howell.
Washington moved into scoring position twice in the first half and squandered both chances. Linebacker Terrel Bernard intercepted Howell at Buffalo’s 16-yard line to end the Commanders’ opening drive. Early in the second quarter, Washington made it to Buffalo’s 1 and failed to punch the ball in; running back Brian Robinson Jr. was knocked back a yard on third and one, and Howell failed to connect with tight end Cole Turner on the fourth-down attempt from the 2.
By the fourth quarter, the problems had snowballed, and the mistakes became more troubling. Shortly after the Bills turned Gibson’s fumble into a score, Epenesa picked off Howell and ran the ball back 32 yards for a touchdown, blowing out Buffalo’s lead to 30-0. Multiple Bills defenders said Howell, on film, had shown a tendency to hold onto the ball too long, especially on third downs.
