Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota win on the same day for first time in 7 years
The last time Winston and Mariota won on the same day was September 29, 2019.
On September 29, 2019, Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, both top picks in the 2015 NFL draft, achieved a rare feat - winning as starting quarterbacks on the same day for the first time in nearly seven years. Winston led the Buccaneers to a 55-40 victory over the Rams, while Mariota guided the Titans to a 24-10 win against the Falcons.
Fast forward to today, September 29, 2026, and the same scenario unfolded. Winston donned the uniform of the Giants as they edged out the Titans 12-7, completing 14 of 22 passes for 118 yards. Mariota, now with the Commanders, faced the Seahawks and secured a 33-31 triumph, throwing for 183 yards and three touchdowns.
Despite not meeting the lofty expectations set by their respective franchises when drafted, Winston and Mariota continue to showcase their abilities at the age of 32. They demonstrate that they can still play at a high level, bringing excitement to the football world.
