Taylor Heinicke flashed a sporty look in pregame ahead of the Commanders’ meeting with the division rival Giants Sunday. The Washington quarterback showed up to the stadium rocking a “Peaky Blinders” outfit as he hopes to channel his inner Tommy Shelby.
NFL reporter Connor Hughes posted a clip of the signal caller strutting through the tunnel, and he look absolutely locked in.

The detail here is phenomenal, from the cap down to the pocket watch.
Heinicke is gearing up for another division rivalry as he looks to get Washington back into the playoff picture. Since taking over under center, the passer has posted a 5-1 record to turn the Commanders’ season around. Now at 7-5, a wildcard berth isn’t out of the question.
Heinicke’s pregame look caught the attention of football fans on social media, with many posting their reactions to the viral clip after seeing the outfit.
One fan wrote, “PEAKY BLINDERS lmao,” while another commented, “Heinicke has the confidence of Tommy Shelby.”
Hopefully that confidence carries over onto the football field.
This person said, “Gotta take the Commanders money line today, by order of the Peaky fookin’ Blinders.” Heinicke appears to have won the game by just stepping off the bus.
At the moment, Washington finds itself in a dog fight with the Giants. They currently lead 13-10 as the first half nears a close. If the Commanders can land a victory, Taylor Heinicke’s playoff pursuit takes another huge leap forward.
