Kaliakmanis completed 15-of-33 for 183 yards, TD, INT in first NFL action off bench.

Kaliakmanis, a rookie seventh-round pick from Rutgers, relieved Mariota in the Week 4 game against Indianapolis, completing 15-of-33 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown with one interception in his first NFL action. The source notes he stood tall in an almost nonexistent pocket and took crushing blows from DeForest Buckner and company, but the writing felt like it was on the wall once the Colts' defenders pinned their ears back and began attacking the rookie. He connected with Antonio Williams for what appeared to be an 87-yard touchdown late in the third quarter that would have put Washington an extra point away from tying the game, but an illegal shift wiped the play off the board.
