Marcus Mariota made his first start of the season for the Washington Commanders on September 27, leading the team to a 33-31 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. He completed 19 of 31 passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns, while also securing a 9-yard run on a crucial third down late in the game. The victory not only marked Washington's first of the season but also earned Mariota a $200,000 bonus for playing 60% of the snaps in a winning effort. As the Commanders prepare for a matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in London, Mariota's status may lead him back into the starting role as Jayden Daniels is considered week-to-week with an injury.
