Washington QB Sam Howell threw four interceptions and was sacked nine times in a rough outing vs. the Bills on Sunday.
, but Bills linebacker A.J. Espenesa jumped up right in front of the quarterback, grabbed the ball, and returned it 30 yards for a Pick-6.
"Obviously, a lot of things didn't go right today and it starts with me," Howell said."But the good thing is the sun will come up tomorrow." Actually, his teammates did their best to try to let the sunshine into the postgame locker room, praising Howell for taking a licking and keeping on ticking. There's a lot they've loved about him in the early part of this season: His moxy, his calm demeanor, his ability to make smart decisions and strong throws. Now they can add toughness and poise to his resume, too.."Through a storm like that, that was real tough and he didn't switch up on anybody.
All quarterbacks experience that — especially the young ones. Even in a season where Rivera knows, deep down, that he has to win to keep his job, he knew that starting a young quarterback would be a season-long roller coaster ride. His only hope was that the peaks would outnumber the stomach-churning drops, and that the ride would be a little less bumpy by season's end.
