Sam Howell Presser: "I’m probably just a more confident player, but the confidence in my arm has never changed."

Washington Commanders starting QB Sam Howell answered questions from the media before today's practice. The team is preparing for their second game of the season against the New York Giants. Washington lost the first game in New Jersey 14-7, and returns home with a 4-6 record to host their division rivals.

Sam Howell had a rough outing against Wink Martindale's defense in the first game, getting sacked 6 times. In the three games since, Howell has only been sacked 7 times, and has thrown for over 1,000 yards and 8 TDs. The offensive line has two new starters, and Howell has been improving from week-to-week.
