In Week 13, the Washington Commanders were faced with the daunting assignment of facing the Miami Dolphins. Jack Del Rio, the defensive coordinator for the Commanders, was recently fired, but Eric Bieniemy has remained to try to extract as much as possible from Sam Howell, who leads the NFL in sacks taken by a large margin. After tossing this pick-six to Andrew Van Ginkle, he now leads the NFL in interceptions.
That is truly hilarious. Howell had the ball less than a second and Van Ginkle was in front of him just about the entire time. So when he tossed him the ball it’s particularly amusing. It’s also Howell’s third game in a row with a pick-six, which is impressive.
This year, Howell is genuinely winging it back there for the Commanders. He leads the league in passing yards in addition to sacks and picks. This year in Washington, there has been some very terrifying, Rex Grossman-like unleashing of the dragon. It makes sense why the Commanders have won four games so far this year.
After playing in just one game the previous season, who would have thought that Howell would accomplish such incredible things? Regretfully, Ron Rivera’s crew had no other choices this season.
