EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Sam Howell had a chance to clear some of the doubts as to whether he can be the Washington Commanders’ quarterback of the future.A second straight benching has only intensified them.Howell was replaced in the third quarter Sunday by Jacoby Brissett, who led the Commanders on three straight touchdown drives to help Washington erase a 20-point deficit and take a late lead before falling 30-28 to the New York Jets on Greg Zuerlein’s 54-yard field goal with 5 seconds left.“It was tough,” Commanders coach Ron Rivera said. “We didn’t help (Howell) early. We dropped a couple of balls that we probably should have caught. Your confidence sometimes can get shaken. That’s what I started to feel in the second half and I was really concerned.“That’s why I made the decision that I did.”Howell certainly didn’t help himself a week after being benched in Washington’s 28-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.Rivera stuck with Howell, who came in le...
