Marcus Mariota will be the Commanders’ primary QB going forward, but he will lead a team in turmoil. After reaching the conference title game the prior year behind the rookie’s excellence, the team have faced difficulties currently. They additionally saw injuries to cornerback Marshon Lattimore (torn ACL) and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (broken collarbone) on Sunday, and have a host of other starters on the injury list. The Commanders are 3-6 so far, and it would require a huge turnaround for the team to make the postseason.
