Taylor Heinicke put on a show tonight in his duel with the GOAT Tom Brady. In his second NFL start he threw for over 300 yards, rushed for a magical TD, and gave hope to a team that entered the game as 10 point home underdogs in the playoffs. Heinicke suffered an AC joint separation and rubbed some dirt on it in the locker room so he didn’t have to miss a single play.
The future is looking brighter for the Washington Football Team, and there are a lot of questions going into next season, but for right now, Taylor Heinicke is our QB!

Without hyperbole, this might be the best TD #WashingtonFootball have scored in nearly a decade.
