"This was the first of two games in the 2024 season where Mariota played a key role on the field. He finished with 34 yards on the ground and 205 passing yards, with a pair of touchdown throws."
"Fortunately, the visiting 1-5 Carolina Panthers represented the closest an NFL team usually gets to a comfortable 'get well' opponent."
"This was one of the three most dominant wins of the Commanders season, and if it hadn't been for the Daniels injury, would probably have been a truly stress-free day for fans."
"With Washington boasting the top-scoring offense in the NFL, this appeared to be the ideal matchup for Kliff Kingsbury's offense, and an opportunity for Joe Whitt's defense."
In Week 7, the Washington Commanders faced off against the struggling Carolina Panthers, seeking a crucial win to stay competitive in the NFC East. The Panthers, with a poor record and low offensive rankings, appeared to be an ideal opponent for Washington, whose high-scoring offense aimed to shine. Despite a significant injury to starting quarterback Jaden Daniels early in the game, Marcus Mariota stepped up, leading the Commanders to a dominant victory, solidifying their 5-2 record for the season with a strong defensive performance.
