"QB Competition Heats Up for Washington Commanders in 2023"

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera is not committing to Sam Howell as the team's starting quarterback for the 2023 NFL season, despite previously stating that Howell would start as QB1. Rivera sees the quarterback situation as a competition between Howell and veteran Jacoby Brissett, who has impressed during the offseason. While Brissett may be the better option for a team looking to contend in 2023, Washington is also looking for a long-term answer under center. The Commanders have time to let the two quarterbacks battle it out for the starting job, and the hope is that competition will produce improvement.
