STACKED’s take
Mariota 183 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs; impressive backup performance vs. elite defense
Mariota delivered an impressive performance as backup quarterback in Week 3 against the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks, throwing for 183 passing yards, 3 touchdowns, 0 interceptions, with 5 rushes for 11 yards. He benefited from an upgraded wide receiver room (Stefon Diggs, Terry McLaurin, Treylon Burks) and receiving back Rachaad White. Mariota capitalized on his opportunities and the Commanders converted 20 points from turnovers vs. Seattle—the last time Washington scored 20 or more points off turnovers was in Week 17 of the 2005 season. The source notes this was an impressive performance from a backup quarterback operating under a new offense, and speculates he could win games going forward with team improvement.
