Marcus Mariota voted FedEx Air Player of the Week after clutch performance

Washington Commanders backup quarterback Marcus Mariota has been voted the FedEx Air Player of the Week after leading his team to a victory against the Seattle Seahawks. Starting in place of injured quarterback Jayden Daniels, Mariota delivered an efficient passing performance, recording 19 completions for 183 yards, three touchdowns, zero turnovers, and a 110.0 passer rating.

In addition to his passing production, Mariota sealed the win by converting a critical third down with a late fourth-quarter rushing play. Daniels was the previous Washington player to earn the weekly honor, winning it three times during his 2024 rookie season.
