Struggles on the road Heinicke completed 15 of 27 passes for 191 yards against Houston on Sunday.

Impact Washington built a safe lead early in this game and perhaps the resulting lack of urgency had something to do with Heinicke's poor production, but it more so seems like he properly struggled against one of the NFL's weaker defenses, taking six quarterback hits from a non-existent pass rush. The Falcons don't have much of a pass rush, either, so hopefully Heinicke can make a better showing against them in Week 12.

Wins starting gig going forward The Commanders are expected to proceed with Heinicke as the starting quarterback to finish the 2022 season, unless his performance necessitates a change, Ian Rapoport of NFL Networ...

Impact Heinicke has won three of his four starts this season, with six touchdowns (one rushing) and four interceptions in that span, and his command of the offense has evidently convinced Washington's coaching staff that the starting job should be his to keep. Even with Carson Wentz (finger) eligible to come off IR and rookie fifth-round pick Sam Howell waiting in the wings, it appears that Heinicke will be able to avoid any sort of quarterback controversy as long as he's able to look the part. Sunday's matchup against the Texans offers the 29-year-old an ideal opportunity to take advantage of a less-than-stellar defense, especially if he can keep up his rapport with top target Terry McLaurin, who has two 100-yard games in Heinicke's four starts.

Named as Week 11 starter Heinicke will start Sunday's game in Houston, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Carson Wentz (finger) is eligible to return from injured reserve this week, and a recent report from Sam Fortier of The Washington Post suggested the Commanders were preparing Wentz to reclaim the starting role. If that's the case, it apparently won't happen this week, giving Heinicke at least one more chance to make his argument to keep the job.
