Posted Jan 9, 2023
Former UNC quarterback Sam Howell couldn’t have started his NFL career much better. His first professional pass in a regular-season game went for a 16-yard touchdown. More importantly, he led the Washington Commanders to a 26-6 victory Sunday over their rival Dallas Cowboys and was given the game ball from Coach Ron Rivera after the game. (Tar Heel Tribune)
