Marcus Mariota Struggles In Week 5 Loss
2 years agoAtlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota struggled in the 21-15 Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran quarterback completed only 56% of his pass attempts in the game, totaling 147 passing yards on 25 attempts. However, the former Oregon star led the Falcons with 61 rushing yards and an 8.7 yards per attempt average. Unfortunately, Mariota got sacked five times in the game and only scored one touchdown. Given his play the past few weeks, it's only a matter of time until the Falcons bench the veteran for the third-round rookie Desmond Ridder.
