Commanders QB Sam Howell throws third pick-six in as many games

Washington Commanders QB Sam Howell is now one game away from tying the NFL’s record for consecutive pick-six games.

In the 2013 NFL season, Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub threw an interception for an opponent touchdown in four straight games, which was a record one thinks might never be broken.

Well, Mr. Schaub, Sam Howell of the Washington Commanders is now on your heels. When Howell threw this interception to Miami Dolphins edge-rusher Andrew Van Ginkel for a 33-yard touchdown with 11:18 left in the first half…

It marked the third straight game in which Howell had thrown a pick-six.

Last week against the Dallas Cowboys, Howell allowed Dallas cornerback DaRon Bland to set the NFL’s single-season record with his fifth pick-six of the season, which now seems all too predictable.

And then, at the end of Washington’s Week 11 game against the New York Giants, Howell threw this lame duck to linebacker/EDGE Isaiah Simmons.

This is not the kind of record anybody wants to break, but after Washington’s Week 14 bye, the Los Angeles Rams will certainly be looking for opportunities in this regard.
