Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Sam Howell made his NFL debut in Saturday’s preseason loss to the Carolina Panthers. Howell played the entire second half, completing nine of 16 passes for 145 yards while also rushing for two touchdowns.
The Commanders trailed 20-6 in the fourth quarter when Howell led a pair of impressive touchdown drives, both of which he capped off with touchdown runs. After the second touchdown, Howell found wide receiver Alex Erickson for the two-point conversion to give Washington its first lead of the game.
