Commanders determined to give Howell more protection
Andrew Wylie made it clear in the locker room after the Washington Commanders (+8)
’ 37-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills (-3) that it’s unacceptable for Sam Howell to get hit as many times as he did on Sunday, no matter how tough he may be.
“As an offensive lineman, that’s on our unit,” Wylie said. “We take that personally. We gotta do a better job of keeping him upright and getting him that extra tick.”
If Washington’s offense has any hope of gaining some traction this season, it has to protect Howell as much as possible.
