The Washington Commanders getting back to .500 football with a win over the Atlanta Falcons left us with some moments to both cringe and cheer. While the win is all that ultimately matters, seeing Sam Howell get battered weekly is beyond bothersome.
The Sacks...
In Atlanta, Howell took five sacks. Assigning blame for that total won’t help things (although Howell has taken the blame for the sacks multiple times this season). Even with the unit having issues, Howell grows with every snap... the problem, of course, is that the sacks are starting to pile up.
