The 24-yard rush on 3rd and 23 was the longest of quarterback Sam Howell’s career.

Untouched for @BrianR_4‘s 7th TD of the season

RB Brian Robinson has scored in his fifth-consecutive road game. Robinson has six games with at least one touchdown, the most by a Washington player within their first nine games of a season since Stephen Davis in 2000.

Washington head coaches to beat Bill Belichick as Patriots head coach:

Steve Spurrier in 2003
Ron Rivera in 2023

Each with a 20-17 win.#Commanders

It is too early to declare Sam Howell a franchise QB. It is not too early to say that he is by far the #Commanders‘ No. 1 bright spot this season, he’s improving & he the last two games in facing two good defenses in those of the Eagles & Patriots has played like a franchise QB.

— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) November 5, 2023

QB Sam Howell has eclipsed 300 passing yards in consecutive games for the first time in his career.

— Washington Commanders PR (@Wash_PR) November 5, 2023

Can see how Sam Howell has sped up his mental process so much from earlier in the season. Getting ball out so much quicker, throwing over blitzes instead of delaying and taking sacks. His efficiency in that regard makes the offense work

Sam Howell intercepted in the endzone.

Horrible throw, which is a shame because it had been an excellent drive from Howell up until this point. pic.twitter.com/hTIoaF2z6K

Sam Howell, minus one ugh EZ decision, is balling.

We asked Sam Howell about facing Bill Belichick. Here is what Belichick thinks of Howell. pic.twitter.com/XYOU5aSIet

Jonathan Allen on Sam Howell: “I feel like we found our quarterback for the next 5-10 years, and I truly believe that.”

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) November 5, 2023

At some point you just have to accept that Sam Howell is that guy

Mac Jones is year 3. That’s what uncertainty looks like at QB

If you don’t think Sam doesn’t look like an upper half of the league QB then you’re just blind or victim of your own ignorance #HTTC @Commanders pic.twitter.com/X0YZt86VzF

— Tim Meek (@IndySkinsFan) November 5, 2023

Sam Howell on ignoring the outside talk about if he’s the long term answer at QB. “I want to be the quarterback here for a long time. But I don’t worry about the future. I take it one day at a time.”

A sack is now a penalty?

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 5, 2023

That is the worse F-ing call that I have ever seen @NFL . Please explain what the hell he’s suppose to do?

— Brian Mitchell (@BMITCHLIVE30) November 5, 2023

I’m here in the stadium surrounded by Pats fans, and even they said that was one of the worst roughing the passer calls they have seen ‍♂️

— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) November 5, 2023

Not sure I’ll ever fully understand roughing calls.

— John Keim (@john_keim) November 5, 2023

The Patriots fall to 2-7 by losing at home to a team that just dealt away two pass rushers at the NFL trade deadline.

— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) November 5, 2023

I mean, the DEs weren’t the issue here. Looked like Mayo and Davis might have been stunting and it didn’t hit well, or Mayo attacked the wrong shoulder https://t.co/btJqrUbbmi

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 5, 2023

Worth going back and listening to Jonathan Vilma’s explanation of what happened on Stevenson’s 64-yard run. Appeared that Jamin Davis was short on a cross-dog blitz with David Mayo, which cleared a lane for Stevenson.

Jack Del Rio had the iPad out with Davis on the sideline…

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) November 5, 2023

RB Antonio Gibson eclipsed 2,500 career rushing yards. He is the 14th player in franchise history to accomplish the feat and first to do so since Alfred Morris in 2013.

Washington’s rookies are having a day:

CB Emmanuel Forbes has two PBUs

RB Chris Rodriguez had had a big stop in punt coverage (-2 yards on the tackle)

DE Andre Jones had a batted pass

DE KJ Henry had what should’ve been a strip-sack

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) November 5, 2023

Lets give the offense line the love they deserve today.

Charles Leno Jr.
Chris Paul
Tyler Larsen
Sam Cosmi
Andrew Wylie.

They played a great game as a unit. #HTTC pic.twitter.com/CBtpmcUCXn
