The news that all Washington Redskins fans have been awaiting was announced today, rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins has been named the team’s starting quarterback for Week 9.

After a couple of games worth of mop-up duty, Haskins will get his first opportunity as a starter. However, it might not be THE move as Colt McCoy is being named the backup and Case Keenum remains in the concussion protocol. It could just be that the lack of availability has forced interim head coach, Bill Callahan’s hand.

Awaiting Haskins will be the Buffalo Bills defense. Though they were just torn apart at home by the Philadelphia Eagles, the Bills defense has been very strong under Sean McDermott. This is a big test for the rookie and if he can keep his head above water during this game it could lead to him becoming the full-time starter regardless of the health of the other quarterbacks on the roster.
