It somewhat got lost in the shuffle of the Philadelphia Eagles’ undefeated season finally coming to an end on Monday night, but we can’t forget the Washington Commanders’ Taylor Heinicke’s antics.
After helping cement Washington’s 32-21 upset of divisional rival Philadelphia, Heinicke did something we rarely see on a football field. You see, most quarterbacks don’t enjoy getting hit. Most organizations would prefer the most important position on the field take as few hits as possible. If a quarterback has to take some punishment, it’d be fair to say most folks would prefer it doesn’t happen late after a play is already over.
