Mariota stars as Commanders end Seahawks' winning run
Marcus Mariota threw three touchdown passes as the Washington Commanders claimed a 33-31 victory over Seattle to end the Seahawks' long winning streak. Seattle had won a dozen games in a row, following up last season's Super Bowl triumph by starting their campaign with back-to-back triumphs, but Mariota starred in the absence of the injured Jayden Daniels.
Marcus Mariota led the Washington Commanders to a 33-31 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, effectively ending the Seahawks' long winning streak that had lasted for twelve games. Mariota demonstrated his prowess by throwing three touchdown passes in the game, which came amid the absence of injured quarterback Jayden Daniels. A crucial interception by Kain Medrano, who returned Sam Darnold's pass 50 yards for a touchdown, proved instrumental in the Commanders' first win of the season.
Additionally, Chris Boswell secured the lead with a field goal, while injuries continued to plague the New York Giants, who lost their starting quarterback Jaxson Dart and defensive back Brian Burns in their 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans.
