Marcus Mariota Today

HEYTC AI
Marcus Mariota and the Washington Commanders saw their surprising playoff run end in heartbreak, falling 23-55 to the Eagles in the NFC Championship on January 26, 2025, after a gritty 5-12 regular season that sneaked them into the postseason. Mariota struggled in the elimination game, completing just 41.2% of his passes for 350 yards, two touchdowns, and likely costly turnovers against Philly's stout defense, capping a 2025 stat line of 0 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs, and a 0.0 passer rating in limited action amid injuries. Ranked #47 in HeyTC AI Rankings, the veteran signal-caller drew mixed post-game reactions, with fans praising his mobility—like evading Broncos' Nik Bonitto's sack earlier—but questioning his arm in big moments. Offseason buzz centers on Jayden Daniels' elbow recovery and whether Mariota returns as a bridge or the Commanders chase a long-term QB upgrade.
