Marcus Mariota led Washington to a 33-31 home-opening win over Seattle after two straight division losses, with starting QB Jayden Daniels sidelined for a few weeks by a dislocated elbow. Mariota called the victory “unbelievable” and said adversity brought the team together.
Mariota said the Commanders “didn't blink” when last season's Super Bowl champions came to town. He called the win a “steppingstone” but said it was “just one week”; he also said he went to the locker room for an IV in the fourth quarter because his workload had not been that high in a while.
On his pick-six, linebacker Kain Medrano said he saw open grass and wanted to show off his receiver skills.
