Sam Howell is the franchise quarterback for the Washington Commanders

Sam Howell is the guy. He was amazing today. He might've been the best quarterback in the NFL this entire week... Sam Howell is the fucking guy. He's the most guy ever. Oh, okay. He is the guy. The guy a guy... he's the goddamn motherfucking guy bitch.

Howell was eventually benched later in the season for Jacoby Brissett and the Commanders traded him to Seattle in the offseason to draft Jayden Daniels.

Kirk Cousins was on the verge of the MVP conversation before his season-ending injury

The big story from this game was the unfortunate injury to Kirk Cousins, which sucks beyond belief... he also was playing awesome ball. Like he was on the precipice of being in the MVP conversation because the Vikings started to win games... and it all comes crashing down with the Achilles.

Opinion Football Medium

Cousins led the NFL in passing touchdowns (18) at the time of his injury and had a 103.8 passer rating, putting him firmly in the statistical conversation.

The Packers are officially a bad football team

I foolishly thought this was the spot to back the Packers because it was the Vikings off a big win against the Niners. The Packers look terrible. Turns out the Packers are just dog shit... yeah, the Packers are bad. Yeah, they're officially a bad team.

Opinion Football Medium

The Packers eventually righted the ship, finishing 9-8 and beating the Cowboys in a playoff game, meaning they weren't 'dog shit' for the full season.

The Steelers' recipe for winning ugly games only works if they make plays in the fourth quarter

The Steelers have a recipe with this Steelers team on how to win games. And it's to make it ugly play defense and then have this heroic fourth quarter, like couple balls bounce your way... When the recipe works like three quarters of the way and then it fails in the fourth because [Pickett] got hurt, they just look like a bad football team.

Opinion Football Medium

The Steelers finished the season 10-7 and made the playoffs despite an ugly offense, largely validating the 'winning ugly' identity.
