Sam Howell and the Commanders had a rough start in their game against the Bears, trailing 27-3 at halftime. Howell finished the game with 388 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception, but it's difficult to have confidence in him moving forward. He struggled to get Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson involved and was sacked five times by a Bears defense that hadn't been generating many sacks. While Howell has favorable matchups in the next two weeks, he is not recommended as a QB1.
