Hogs Haven on Sam Howell
ArticleCommanders News: 49 preseason snaps; has Quan Martin answered doubts?
From the article
If it was Joe Milton's night then it was also not Sam Howell's. Milton left a very high bar to clear when he sat on the bench for the second half, and the calculus of the game hardly worked in Howell's favor as a result. The broadcast, the Cowboys one to be clear, even discusses this as the Cowboys had a rather large lead and were not in the same sort of passing mode that they were in the first half. This naturally inhibited the opportunity from a volume standpoint for Howell. Still, he had a chance. The Cowboys drove down and were well within striking distance when it seemed like Howell was trying to force something. Maybe Milton having a hat trick's worth of scores made that feel necessary. Whatever the case, throwing an interception when points are within reach is never a good thing, but especially after your direct competition put together such a clean game.

Howell's interception in limited opportunity looks bad after Milton's strong showing.
Howell's preseason performance was hampered by game script; the Cowboys built a large lead and shifted away from passing mode, limiting his volume opportunities. When he did get chances late in the game with the Cowboys in striking distance, he threw an interception, a particularly poor look after his direct competition Joe Milton had put together a clean game with multiple touchdown passes.
