Will Howard's Interceptions Threaten Steelers Roster Spot

Will Howard, who impressed in his NFL debut a week ago, completed 10 of 15 passes for 74 yards in four drives against the Jets. Both of his non-turnover drives resulted in three-and-outs. 'I felt really comfortable in the pocket,' Howard said, 'but those two turnovers will really, really make it sour.' The quarterback took full responsibility for his mistakes, noting 'both of them were unfortunate' and 'just can't happen.' solvita.blog

Coach Mike McCarthy hinted that receiver Roman Wilson, who was the target for both interceptions, may have shared some blame, stating 'there's always plays that are cleaner than others and those two plays were not clean.' With rookie third-rounder Drew Allar handling the second half, Howard's performance adds uncertainty to the Steelers' crowded quarterback competition.
