It doesn’t take much to sell Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs hosting Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders on “Monday Night Football.” The best quarterback in the league against a rising star coming off a historic rookie season.
Once again, backup QB Marcus Mariota steps into the starting lineup. The veteran journeyman is 1-1 in his two starts this season with 363 yards passing, three touchdowns and one interception. Against the Cowboys, Mariota completed 4 of 10 passes for 63 yards and a pick six.
The trauma suffered by this fan base during the Daniel Snyder era is real, but it's time to lay the ghosts of quarterbacks past to rest.
