Jets 30, Commanders 28
Washington’s 30-28 defeat extended its losing streak to six games and set it back to 4-11 — which may be good for its draft slot next year but was terrible for second-year quarterback Sam Howell.
Howell, a young player who showed potential earlier in the season and was in the conversation to become a long-term starter, sputtered again Sunday and was benched — again. Jacoby Brissett came in and, for the second consecutive week, guided Washington to multiple touchdowns, seemingly silencing any talk of Howell being the guy going forward.
Merry Christmas, Commanders fans.
