There’s another twist to the NFC playoff race.
Following a third straight game without a win, the Washington Commanders have seen enough of Taylor Heinicke and are going to close out the regular season with Carson Wentz. You may recall that Wentz was the starter for the Commanders, going 2-4 in his first six starts. A finger injury sidelined him and even when he was ready to return, the Commanders stuck with Taylor Heinicke as quarterback and rode Heinicke Mania all the way to a 7-5 record, but now the wheels have fallen off and Heinicke’s tendency to fumble the ball is apparently too much for Ron Rivera to handle.
