Sam Howell

Sam Howell completed 11-of-14 passes for 153 yards

Howell connected on a beautiful 23-yard touchdown throw to Easop Winston Jr. with a little over a minute left in the first quarter to punctuate a drive where he went 4-for-4 for 53 yards. He also found Cody White for a 33-yard gain on an impressive throw. The 23-year-old was much improved from his so-so — at best — play last week. There’s still no QB battle here, but Howell solidified his status as the backup with his play Saturday.
