Teammates praise Taylor Heinicke after win over Packers

There’s just something about Taylor Heinicke. Washington’s backup quarterback made his first start in 2022 on Sunday and led the Commanders to a 23-21 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

To celebrate. Heinicke went out the following day and used his bonus money to buy a pair of Jordans in Green Bay’s iconic green and yellow colors.

Heinicke overcame a rough start in the first half of Sunday’s game. He started one of seven and also had an interception returned for a touchdown to give the Packers a 14-3 lead. Head coach Ron Rivera didn’t flinch.
