From the article

Howard tossed an interception directly to Jets safety Andre Cisco in the red zone. The interception killed what had been a 12-play drive. The next drive ended in similar fashion with Howard under-throwing a pass to Roman Wilson that was picked off by Samuel Womack. The former sixth-round pick's day was done after the first half, finishing with 74 yards and a pair of interceptions on 10-of-15 passing. With a chance to potentially show he was worthy of being the backup to Aaron Rodgers, Howard, instead, may have played himself off the 53-man roster all together.

Howard's two-INT performance may have cost him a roster spot.

The Ohio State product struggled significantly in his preseason start against the Jets, throwing two interceptions on 10-of-15 passing for 74 yards in the first half before being benched. Howard threw one interception directly to Jets safety Andre Cisco in the red zone that killed a 12-play drive, then under-threw a pass to Roman Wilson that was picked off by Samuel Womack. The source notes that with a chance to show he was worthy of being the backup to Aaron Rodgers, Howard instead may have played himself off the 53-man roster altogether.
