Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell is completing 66.5% of his passing attempts for 2,783 yards, with 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions through 10 games.
After the completion of Week 10 games, Howell is now the NFL’s leading passer, 15 yards ahead of Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud. It is important to note that Howell has one more game played than some others on the list.
But let’s analyze where Howell ranks in some important numbers:
- Passing yards per game: 5th (278.3)
- Touchdowns: T-3rd (17)
- Completions: 1st (264)
- Passing yards: 1st (2,783)
If you had asked any Washington fan if Howell would be performing this way after 10 games, they’d probably tell you the Commanders would be a first-place team.
After all, the defense was supposed to be the team’s strength. Remember those times?
