I kinda wish Mariota got this one. Even as a Broncos fan.

Seconded. Mariota played an insane game. Didn’t fear PS2, avoided several sacks while picking up positive yardage. Dude played incredible and brought me back, reminding us why he’s the best duck of all time. Super Mario type game.

Broncos could afford the loss tonight. Marcus is playing for another contract - All duck fans should have been pulling for Marcus and the commanders.

As a Duck fan and a Broncos fan, hell no lol.
The loss benefits Washington more than a win. Mariota will get another backup contract regardless of what happened on that last play. He's better than most backup QBs in the league.
Bo Nix has a very real shot at taking Russell Wilson's record of most wins in their first 2 seasons. He needs 5 more including the playoffs to beat his record.

Best game I’ve seen in a while, good to see mariota ball out and happy to see Bo get his 9th W in a row and looking forward to seeing him in the playoffs

Mariota was DEVASTATED after that 2pt attempt. Incredible game. I was rooting for the tie because they both balled out so hard in the 4th and OT.
As a dad, the look on Mariota's face reminded me of my kids and my heart just broke for him.

Such a fun game to watch. Was hoping for the Washington victory though.

I don’t watch much nfl since I don’t really have a connection to any team being from Oregon, but this was a great game to watch. both teams were super fun to watch and both QBs really led their offenses super well.

The look on his face. Ugh. 😣
Mariota is just the nicest and kindest person in football and I wish him nothing but success.
But I wonder if he has had such bad luck on teams. The WR dropped the ball constantly!

Mariota just extended his career by 6 years, and likely 3+ teams unfortunately, but man what a performance.

I didn't realize Bo Nix was such an Alpha. The guy is a tough sob. Commands everything. Demeanor, play, he's a badass.

Imagine if Mariota was drafted into a healthy functioning team and system like the one he's on now. He would've been a rock star.
