On a cold, Saturday night in Landover, Maryland, a twenty seven year old quarterback from Lawrenceville, Georgia compiled the best performance of his life. Finishing with over 350 total yards and 2 touchdowns, Heinicke finished the game with a 92.0 overall grade. According to PFF, that is the highest single-game grade they have given to a Washington QB in nearly 14 years. Taylor Heinicke started the season as a free agent and eventually became the starter in Washington’s first playoff game in 5 years. Although he was unable to lead them to the divisional round, he played his heart out and proved everyone who had doubted him that he was a viable NFL quarterback. Although his NFL experience sample size is small, he has the opportunity to build off this success. So without further ado, let’s get into who Heinicke is and how he nearly led the Washington Football team to a victory over the Tom Brady-led Buccaneers.
