Taylor Heinicke put on a show tonight in his GOAT duel Tom Brady. In his second game in the NFL, he shot for more than 300 yards, ran for a magic TD and gave hope to a team that entered the game as an underdog at home with 10 points in the playoffs. Heinicke suffered a separation from the AC joint and rubbed some dirt in the locker room so as not to miss a single move.
The future looks brighter for the Washington Football Team, and there are a lot of questions next season, but for now, Taylor Heinicke is our QB!
