Sam Howell Excited To Be A Seahawk And ‘Ready To Go To Work’

Seahawks fans probably remember Howell for his impressive performance in the Commanders’ Week 10 loss to the Seahawks, a close game in which he completed 29 of 44 passes for 312 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, a performance that included two impressive touchdown passes in the fourth quarter that twice tied the score.

For Seahawks fans who might have missed that game, Howell describes himself as “a tough competitor, a guy who’s going to do whatever it takes to help his team find a way to win a football game. I don’t really care much about who gets the credit or how we do it as long as we get it done. I take a lot of pride in being a good teammate and being good for the locker room, and I’m going to give this team all I’ve got.”

And having experienced a dramatic finish as an opposing quarterback at Lumen Field, Howell is excited to have that fanbase on his side going forward. 

“Man, it’s the loudest thing I’ve ever heard,” he said. “It was a close game in the fourth quarter, we were down one touchdown and had the ball in the fourth quarter, and we couldn’t hear anything. We had to burn two timeouts just so I could get a play from the sideline. You definitely don’t want to be the visiting team, so I’m happy to be on the home sideline now. It’s definitely the toughest place to play in the league, and I’m just happy I’m on the right side of it now.”
