Sam Howell bounced back from his worst game and nearly upset the Eagles on Sunday, giving Washington hope at the QB position in the process.
Philadelphia Eagles
Maybe he doesn't, but this was still a big one for an organization in transition, and one that has spent the last six years playing a poor game of quarterback roulette. There's nothing more important to them than finding a franchise quarterback, and they've placed a big bet on the kid they drafted last year in the fifth round.On Sunday, the dividends were obvious.
Of course, the Commanders are after more than a long-term return on their investment. Rivera knows he needs to win this season to have a chance of coming back next year. He's also felt all summer long like he has a better team than most people think. There weren't many believers in that, even after their 2-0 start — especially after the way the Bills knocked them back to Earth.
No one could completely enjoy it, though, because of a loss that Rivera said"is a tough pill to swallow." Maybe the medicine will do some good, though. If Howell had lost any confidence, this surely restored it. He showed no jitters against another strong pass rush. He had no indecision when quickly going through his reads. There were no obvious aftershocks from what happened last week.
