He's a Heisman Trophy winner, a PAC-12 Champion, a Unanimous All-American and a Rose Bowl winner. He's played in the National Football League for 11 seasons and earned $83 million in his career.

Marcus Mariota has been celebrated as the Greatest of All Time and written off as a bust. He's been a starter and a benchwarmer, a No. 1 draft pick, the face of the franchise and a mop-up QB.

So it was pretty satisfying for him on Sunday when Jayden Daniels sat out with a knee strain and Mariota got the call to run the Commanders offense, leading them to a 41-27 victory.
