Who Should I Start? Joshua Dobbs or Sam Howell

Monday, October 2, 12:26 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Joshua Dobbs completed 28 of 41 passes for 265 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He also added 48 rushing yards on 12 carries. Dobbs was able to keep his team in the game for a while against a stout San Francisco defense, but it wasn't enough in the Week 4 blowout. In the third quarter, his two touchdown strikes to rookie wide receiver Michael Wilson helped make it a one-possession game but by then it was too little too late. With Kyler Murray (knee) not expected back for the foreseeable future, Dobbs will look to put this one behind him when the Cincinnati Bengals come to town in Week 5.

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell completed 29-of-41 passes for 290 yards and a touchdown along with six carries for 40 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. After a disastrous Week 3, the former Tar Heel improved immensely in Week 4. He was solid throughout the game, but his best came when the lights were brightest. To tie the game at 31, Howell led a 64-yard drive that was capped off by a buzzer-beating touchdown to wide receiver Jahan Dotson. A loss isn't the result the Commanders wanted, but they have to feel good about what they saw from their second-year signal caller. Howell will aim to keep his success going in Week 5 against the woeful Chicago Bears.
