Jayden Daniels missed this game, one of several he's been forced to sit out this year due to injury, and it was once again backup quarterback Marcus Mariota taking his place against Miami. Unfortunately for the Commanders, Mariota too went out with an injury in this game, opening the door for Josh Johnson to enter the game, per Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team on X, formerly... Mariota walked around for a few moments after getting hit by a Dolphins defender and then took a seat on the turf. However, the good news was that he was cleared to return to the game after being evaluated for a concussion, per the Commanders. Overall, it's just the latest development in what has been a nightmarish season for the Commanders on the heels of their NFC Championship Game run a year ago.

Injuries have been a major issue for Washington throughout the year this season, with Daniels and several other players missing time due to various ailments, and the team overall has taken a step back... A nightmarish season for the Washington Commanders made its way to Madrid on Sunday with hopes the change of scenery could bring better results. While the Commanders impressed in some respects, they saw the injury bug hit again when QB Marcus Mariota exited the game in the third quarter. Mariota, starting in place of an injured Jayden Daniels, threw a touchdown pass to Deebo Samuel earlier in the quarter but came out of the game after landing hard in the end zone in...

Ertz slipped on a failed fourth-down conversion at the goal-line, and the 35-year-old tight end appeared to blame the condition of the field. Mariota, by contrast, was much more matter of fact about the interception he threw when aiming for Ertz on the first play of the extra period. Dolphins cornerback Jack Jones was able to snatch the pass, and the turnover soon positioned kicker Riley Patterson to split the uprights from 29 yards.

His successful field goal confirmed a sixth-straight defeat for the Commanders, but Mariota was still willing to credit his opponent. Speaking to reporters after the game, per Commanders.com, the backup quarterback explained, “they covered our first couple of options well, and I tried to get back side to Zach. A guy undercut it and made a player, unfortunately there. Give credit to him, he made a good play.” While Mariota was gracious in defeat, Ertz wasn’t anywhere near as forgiving when it came to his assessment of the playing conditions in the Spanish capital.

MADRID — The first battle of starting quarterbacks from Saint Louis School went to Tua Tagovailoa. Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins edged Marcus Mariota and the Washington Commanders 16-13 in overtime on Sunday, in what was also the first NFL regular-season game in Spain. "I got a chance to speak to him after the game," Tagovailoa said of his friend from Oahu. "After I told him great job, great seeing him. (It was) more of things that he wanted to share with me that I really appreciated." Jack Jones intercepted Mariota on the first offensive play of overtime and Riley Patterson kicked a 29-yard field goal to give the Dolphins the victory at Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
