Washington Commanders' quarterback, Sam Howell, despite facing a high sack rate, has shown significant improvement in his performance, earning the endorsement of former Washington QB Joe Theismann. Howell has been sacked 44 times in 9 games, a record second only to Jake Plummer's since the 1970 merger. His recent achievement of throwing for 300 yards in two consecutive games, a feat comparable to Sonny Jurgensen's career achievements, puts him on track to match the franchise record of three consecutive 300-yard games.

Beginning with the 1st #Eagles matchup, Sam Howell has had a nice little 6-game run going. Was curious to see his 5th-to-10th career starts compared to other #Commanders QBs since the 1970 merger (minimum: 100 attempts). Pretty well, as you can imagine. Does No. 3 surprise you? https://t.co/8z8GtXkTHI
