Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell had another “prove-it moment” in Sunday’s Week 10 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
With Washington trailing 26-19 late in the fourth quarter, Howell had another chance for some late-game heroics.
How did he respond? Despite some questionable clock management and timeout usage by Washington, Howell, facing third-and-10 with around 53 seconds remaining, found former college teammate Dyami Brown for a 35-yard touchdown.
Here’s the play:

What an outstanding drive from Howell.
Unfortunately, he left too much time on the clock for Washington’s struggling defense. Seattle quarterback Geno Smith found wide receiver DK Metcalf for two big completions in the final seconds, leaving kicker Jason Myers the chance to win it. Myers enters and drills a 43-yard field goal as time expired.
Don’t blame Howell, as he completed 29 of 44 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns.
