WATCH: Commanders QB Sam Howell’s 4 most improbable completions from Week 9

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell seems to have a knack for making some of the NFL’s more “improbable” completions each week.

According to Next Gen Stats, Howell had several of these throws in Washington’s Week 9 win over the New England Patriots. Here are Howell’s four most improbable throws from Sunday’s game.

This is some high-level stuff from Howell. Each of these four throws displays something different from the second-year quarterback. On the completion to Brown, you see Howell making an accurate throw on the move.

The throw to Terry McLaurin on the sideline was a terrific route from the star wideout and an even better throw from Howell while he was drifting back and under pressure.

The touchdown to Jahan Dotson was a dime. He laid it out in front of Dotson where the defender couldn’t make a play on the ball, allowing Dotson to run under it for the catch. Just a terrific throw.

What’s incredible is that Next Gen Stats didn’t even give us the completion probability on the following throw:

That was one of those throws where you cover your eyes and hope for the best. Howell showed a little “Mahomes magic” on that one to Byron Pringle.
