Washington Football Team studs and duds from Week 10 loss
By Ian Cummings
Stud No. 2 – WR Cam Sims
He wasn’t the leading receiver or the leading catch-getter, but Cam Sims was very clearly one of the Washington Football Team’s most important players on Sunday.
Sims finished this game with four receptions for 54 yards, marking the second-straight game of the season where he’s eclipsed 50 yards, and in the only time in his career that he’s done so. Not only was Sims statistically proficient, but the quality of his catches were also superb.
All four of Sims’ catches went for crucial first downs, and his last one, a contested catch on third-and-ten on Washington’s final offensive drive, put Washington on the fringe of field goal range. Sims displayed good quickness and toughness for his 6-foot-5 frame, and he’s not-so-slowly becoming a legitimate weapon, and a potential piece of the future, for this offense.
For all of you fans who “called it” when Sims was making plays back in preseason of 2018, go ahead and give yourselves a pat on the back. Let me play off of your tendency for irrational excitement just a bit more: Through his last two games, Sims is on pace for 64 catches and 1,312 yards in a sixteen-game slate.
