Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett nearly pulled off a stunning comeback victory for the Washington Commanders against the New York Jets, who came back with a go-ahead field goal in the final seconds after blowing a sizable lead.
But Brissett did enough to possibly take the starting quarterback job from Sam Howell. That was also the case last week, but coach Ron Rivera decided to stick with Howell for Sunday’s game.
Pete Carroll went back to Geno Smith six days after Drew Lock completed a comeback victory for the Seattle Seahawks against the Philadelphia Eagles. The move paid off, with the Seahawks defeating the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
