Commanders
Commanders QB Taylor Heinicke isn’t worried if people doubt his abilities to lead his team to victory and will continue to let his play speak for itself.
“I don’t care about doubters. I don’t care what they have to say,” Heinicke said, via Ethan Cadeaux of NBCSportsWashington.com. “I care about the people who believe in me, and I want to prove them right. That means more to me than anyone else that has something negative to say. . . . I want to prove the people that believe in me right more than the doubters wrong. I could care less about those people.”
- Commanders HC Ron Rivera on if the team will continue to start Heinicke once QB Carson Wentz returns from injured reserve: “Not necessarily. I think this is about playing one game at a time. When we get to that position, then I’ll deal with it.” (Ralph Vacchiano)
