Marcus Mariota keeps Commanders afloat vs. Falcons

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota couldn't get the win in his second start against the Atlanta Falcons.

While he didn't perform as well as he did in Week 3, Mariota still showed signs of promise with Jayden Daniels out.

“I know our team's going to battle back. That part I know. We just don't like ourselves being in the hole to go. I thought, as a whole, we ran the ball effectively with Marcus [Mariota] included into that, making the reads, where to go. I thought we missed some opportunities today and some penalties certainly cost us into those," Quinn said.

"When you're playing a team, you just can't beat yourself on some things. We've got to be able to nail that to go. I thought Marcus was prepared, ready to go, made some plays. Obviously, the score, the two-point play at the end, those are ones that he's exceptional at. I'll go back and check the tape on others, but trading field goals, that's not the answer. That's not Marcus, that's all of us to make sure we can go and get scores. Please, Matt [Gay], hit them, but I want to make sure let's score some touchdowns.”
