In a press conference held on Tuesday, Commanders head coach Ron Rivera revealed that he will make an announcement on Wednesday regarding the team's quarterback plan for their upcoming Week 18 matchup against the Cowboys. This news comes after a challenging 27-10 loss to the 49ers last week, where quarterback Sam Howell made his 16th start of the season.

The Commanders had initially planned to make a quarterback change last week, but Jacoby Brissett's hamstring injury forced Howell to start once again. Although Brissett had been replacing Howell in the team's previous two games, his return to the field didn't yield the desired outcomes, as the Commanders faced comebacks that ultimately fell short.

During the game against the Niners, Howell completed 17 of his 28 passes for 169 yards. He managed to throw one touchdown pass, but also made two interceptions. Throughout the season, Howell has thrown a total of 369 completions out of 585 attempts, accumulating 3,793 passing yards. He has recorded 20 touchdowns, but unfortunately leads the league with 19 interceptions.

With the Commanders entering the final week of the regular season, coach Ron Rivera now faces a crucial decision in determining who will lead the team under center against the Cowboys. The choice between Howell and Brissett will undoubtedly have significant implications for the team's performance.

As both quarterbacks bring different strengths and weaknesses to the table, Rivera's decision will have to take into account the Commanders' offensive strategies and the challenging defense of the Cowboys. Whether the team opts to stick with Howell or switch to Brissett remains to be seen, but only time will tell which direction the Commanders will take.

The Commanders' faithful, along with football fans, will eagerly await Wednesday's announcement, as they hope it will shed light on the team's quarterback plans for the pivotal clash with the Cowboys in Week 18.
