Where would the Washington Commanders have been over the last two seasons without quarterback Taylor Heinicke? Expected to be the backup in both seasons, but injuries to the starters in each season led Heinicke to play much more than expected.
In 26 games with Washington, 24 as a starter, Heinicke has led the Commanders to a 12-11-1 record. Washington has won 15 games in the last two seasons. Six quarterbacks have started at least one game during that stretch, with the other five only picking up three victories. Carson Wentz has two of those victories, and Sam Howell has one.
