PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sam Howell stepped up in the pocket, made quick, decisive throws, and played with the confidence needed to throw a tying touchdown pass on the final play of regulation.Howell couldn’t lead the Commanders to an overtime upset in Philadelphia, though. The NFC champions did what they do best and made the clutch plays, including a 54-yard field goal from Jake Elliott in OT, to beat Washington 34-31 on Sunday.It wasn’t a total loss for Howell.

No interceptions. “We have a lot of confidence in him,” coach Ron Rivera said. “And he’s paying us back.”The 23-year-old Howell sprung to life on the final drive of regulation. The Eagles went ahead 31-24 on Jalen Hurts’ 28-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown and 2-...
