The Commanders finish their season strong with a convincing 26-6 win over the Dallas Cowboys, improving to 8-8-1 as their season concludes. Washington’s rookie quarterback Sam Howell had a promising debut on Sunday. He finished with 169 passing yards on 11 completions, 35 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown.
One of the coaching staff’s most significant points of emphasis in Howell’s development was the little details. Last week, Rivera stated that Howell’s footwork and decision-making hindered his ability to quickly get the ball out of his hands and in rhythm. Howell’s performance was not perfect, but he made some big-time throws against Dallas.
