Overview

• In his first start since 2022, Marcus Mariota went 15 of 21 for 206 yards with a late touchdown, added 40 rushing yards and a score, and led Washington to 2-1.
• Washington piled up 201 rushing yards, including 174 before halftime, highlighted by Jeremy McNichols’ 60-yard touchdown and a 1-yard plunge by rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt after a 56-yard strike to Terry McLaurin.
• Rookie Jaylin Lane delivered a 90-yard punt return touchdown, and Deebo Samuel set up the opening score with a 69-yard kickoff return.
• The offensive line was overhauled, with left guard Brandon Coleman a healthy inactive and Andrew Wylie and Chris Paul inserted at guard to stabilize protection and the run game.
• Head coach Dan Quinn sustained a cut on his nose after a sideline collision with Mariota late in the first half but said he was OK and continued coaching.
