Christina Merrill | MLive.comATLANTA — Atlanta’s Desmond Ridder and Washington’s Sam Howell are coming off career-best passing games as they prepare to face each other Sunday in a matchup of second-year quarterbacks.
Ridder said good protection from Atlanta’s offensive line put him in position to flourish against Houston and will be the key againstled by Montez Sweat. Ridder was sacked 16 times in the first four games and was not dropped behind the line by the Texans. The Commanders’ offense was one-dimensional against Chicago. Washington dropped back to pass on its final 55 snaps, starting at the midpoint of the second quarter.
It also doesn’t help that reserve safety and All-Pro special teams player Jeremy Reaves also landed on injured reserve with a partially torn ACL. Forrest’s spot will fall to rookie Quan Martin and second-year pro Percy Butler.
