Top Performance
Sam Howell played the best of any Tar Heel this week. Rebounding from a bad game against the Bills, Howell had the Commanders in position to take down one of the best teams in the league. He zipped a ball in for a touchdown when the clock hit zero. In overtime, Howell threw a pass that, on replay, looked complete but was ruled the opposite. If called correctly, the Commanders may have driven down the field and won. Howell also connected with former UNC teammate Dyami Brown for two catches!
A lot of promise has been shown by these pro Tar Heels.
