The Philadelphia Eagles, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, meet the Washington Commanders, led by Sam Howell, in a regular season game on Sunday, Oct.29, 2023 at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland.
Week 8 vs. Philadelphia EaglesWashington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell throws during the second half of an NFL football game against the New York Giants, Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023, in East Rutherford, N.J. Sam Howell knows he could name everyone along the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive front after he and the Washington Commanders took plenty of punishment from them earlier this season.
Washington used to believe in a balanced offense, an identity that protected Howell and used the running back combination of Brian Robinson Jr. and Antonio Gibson to keep opponents off balance. That changed last weekend at the New York Giants, when Howell dropped back to pass 52 times compared to 19 rushing attempts in a lackluster 14-7 loss.
“The sack problem is definitely an issue and we want to try to avoid that and try to limit those numbers,” said Howell, who’s going into his eighth pro start. “But at the same time, I still want to go out there and play how I’m coached to play and still keep my eyes downfield and be able to locate those guys and not be too worried about the rush.”
“I don’t really have control over the play-calling and I’m not necessarily somebody who’s going to be as demonstrative in the media, but they know how much I want the ball,” McLaurin said. “And I feel like my teammates come up to me a lot during the games like, ‘We need a play from you.’ I get the guys going, and I don’t shy away from those moments, but I just try to be ready when those opportunities come because they’re game-changing plays.
Byard has 27 interceptions since becoming a starter in 2017, the most among all NFL safeties through 2022.
