Sunday’s matchup between the Washington Commanders (4-11) and San Francisco 49ers (11-4) could be a battle between a pair of day-three quarterbacks from the 2022 NFL draft.
We know Brock Purdy will be under center for the Niners. Purdy, touted as an MVP candidate for much of the season, looks to get right after throwing four interceptions in a Monday night loss to the Ravens last week.
No one knows who will start at quarterback for the reeling Commanders. Jacoby Brissett replaced Sam Howell last week. Head coach Ron Rivera said the move was for Week 17, insisting Howell needed a break after a rough stretch of starts.
However, Brissett landed on Washington’s injury report Friday with a hamstring injury, and on Saturday, the Commanders signed Jake Fromm from the practice squad. All signs point to Howell returning for Washington on Sunday.
Here is everything you need to know on how to watch, listen to, or stream the Week 17 battle between the Commanders and the 49ers.
