The Commanders backup stepped in for injured Jayden Daniels Sunday to lead a win and has a history of being able to handle Chicago's defense.
Perhaps the Bears should be hoping their defense gets the chance to face injured Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels rather than backup Marcus Mariota.
In the two games, Mariota had passer ratings of 126.4 and 100.2, threw for 357 yards on 28 of 43, had three touchdowns with no interceptions and ran 17 times for 71 yards with a touchdown. His overall passer rating against the Bears is 114.2.Mariota went 18 of 23 for 205 yards with two TDs Sunday, but the Commanders' running game had at least as much to do with their easy win as their passing. They ran for 214 yards on 37 attempts, with starter Brian Robinson Jr.
My guess is that Mariota starts at QB. I really don't think a stick-figured, ailing Jayden wants to get in da line of fire vs. this Bears D. They don't take any prisoners.Daniels returned to the sideline in street clothes Sunday in the second half after being hurt on the first possession.
