Interception:
Sam Howell said of the INT: “bad decision.”
— John Keim (@john_keim) January 9, 2023
“Bad play on my part. I thought I was going to be able to throw a high ball and get it over that guy for a touchdown. He made a good play. Certainly a bad decision I’ll learn from.”
Practice:
Howell said he thought he made good decisions for the most part, but he credits what he did today to the good week of practice they had, which gave him confidence for Sunday

Beating the team he grew up cheering for:

Sam Howell said he kept the fact he grew up a Dallas fan from us all week. But said it was “super cool” that his first TD and first win came vs the Cowboys. Said his dad was a Cowboys fan. “Cool moment for us as a family.”

Sonny Jurgensen:
Sam Howell, unprompted, shouted out Sonny Jurgensen to end his podium session. Said it was really cool to start on the night they honored him.
