Mariota will be the team’s primary QB going forward, but he will lead a roster in disarray. Following making the NFC championship game the prior year behind the rookie’s excellence, the team have struggled currently. They also saw injuries to cornerback Marshon Lattimore (ACL tear) and wide receiver McCaffrey (collarbone fracture) on game day, and have a number of other starters on the injury list. The Commanders are three wins and six losses so far, and it would require a huge turnaround for the club to make the playoffs.
