You can vote for Marcus Mariota as FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week
Mariota’s stats in the win over the defending Super Bowl champs and their elite defense: 19 of 31,183 yds, 3 TDs, 0 turnovers, 110.0 passer rating
Landover, Maryland - On September 27, 2026, in a matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota, who was initially ruled out, stepped into the game and delivered a commanding performance. Despite the fact that usually backups face a challenging task, Mariota showed steady command of offensive coordinator David Blough's scheme.
He completed 19 of 31 passes for 183 yards, three touchdowns, and zero turnovers, giving him a passer rating of 110.0. This performance marked Mariota's first three-touchdown outing since Week 8 of the 2022 season, and he surpassed 18,000 career passing yards, joining an exclusive group of active NFL signal-callers to reach that milestone.
Blough kept the game plan balanced and in rhythm, allowing Mariota to take advantage of the defense's mistakes. The Commanders won the game 33-31, and voting for the FedEx Air & Ground awards is open to fans online until Wednesday afternoon.
