Reality is often sobering, especially when that reality involves a 34-point loss at home that shakes the foundation of a 2-1 start. The Washington Commanders felt that reality Sunday, getting completely walloped by the Buffalo Bills 37-3 while Sam Howell suffered his first true 'welcome to the NFL' moment.

Mandatory Credit: Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports - 21494747Reality is often sobering, especially when that reality involves a 34-point loss at home that shakes the foundation of a 2-1 start.
Howell easily had his worst game as a pro, throwing four interceptions and getting sacked an additional nine times as the bad plays just piled up to a point where the Commanders were down 37-0 before a meaningless field goal with about 50 seconds left. The Commanders looked like they could be one of the friskier teams in the NFL after being, but they completely folded in their first game against a true Super Bowl contender. Howell and really the entire team were overmatched.
Howell probably should keep his job as the starting quarterback because the Commanders, at this point in time, need to figure out if Howell has the juice to be a long-term starter more than they need to start Jacoby Brissett. One horrible performance doesn’t change that — at the end of the day, this team is still 2-1 and has enough top-end talent to give most teams headaches. However, their current résumé does look a bit shaky after Sunday’s performances.
