Summary

What did the Washington Commanders actually learn from their Week 3 win over the Seattle Seahawks? Start with Marcus Mariota, whose role in David Blough’s offense was much bigger than his 183 passing yards suggest. Mariota was checking Washington into favorable plays before the snap, adjusting with Terry McLaurin after it and showing the Commanders can give their backup quarterback meaningful control of the offense.
