With only two games remaining in the NFL regular season, the Washington Commanders have named Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback against the San Francisco 49ers, replacing Sam Howell. This decision makes Brissett the ninth starting QB under coach Ron Rivera. The New York Giants have also made a change at quarterback, with Tyrod Taylor taking over from Tommy DeVito. Giants head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Taylor's promotion following his commendable second-half performance against the Philadelphia Eagles, stating that he 'earned the right to start' against the Los Angeles Rams. Taylor is expected to start for the final two games, as he is seen as giving the Giants the best chance to win.
