Jacoby Brissett to Start for Commanders Against 49ers

Move follows Howell's declining performance and Brissett's successful relief appearances in recent games.

Jacoby Brissett will replace Sam Howell as the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders in their upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Brissett has led the Commanders to five touchdown drives in the past two games after replacing Howell mid-game.
Howell's performance has been declining, with a 58.6% completion rate and a 0.7 touchdown-to-interception ratio in the last seven games.
The Commanders are currently third in the 2024 draft order, and their performance in the final two games of the season could impact their draft position.
Significant staff changes are expected for the Commanders after this season, which could affect Howell's future with the team.
