<p>After last season’s shortcomings, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>San Francisco 49ers</strong></a> launched the 2025 <strong>NFL</strong> season with determination. Head coach Kyle Shanahan’s roster remains undefeated, having secured victories over the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints. Now poised to extend its winning streak, it faces a critical matchup against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a>.</strong> Yet, the challenge escalates as <strong>it must tackle this game without starting quarterback Brock Purdy.</strong></p>



<p>NFL insider Ian Rapoport has confirmed that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a> will be sidelined for today’s game as<strong> he continues to recover from a sprained left shoulder and turf toe.</strong> This absence marks his second consecutive game out of action. However, <strong>Purdy is anticipated to return to the lineup for the 49ers’ Week 4 </strong>matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.</p>



<p>Despite sustaining an injury in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Week 1 against the Seahawks, the 25-year-old quarterback showcased his remarkable resilience and talent. <strong>Purdy completed 26 of 35 passes for 277 yards, throwing two crucial touchdowns</strong>, underscoring his status as an exceptional player. While the 49ers secured a victory in the previous game without him, <strong>Brock’s absence remains a significant challenge for the team.</strong></p>



<h2>Kyle Shanahan points out 49ers QB on Purdy’s absence</h2>



<p>With Brock Purdy confirmed absent, 49ers fans eagerly sought a leader at quarterback for Week 3’s face-off against the Cardinals. Breaking the suspense, head coach <strong>Kyle Shanahan has once again placed his trust in Mac Jones</strong>, as reported by Ian Rapoport, appointing him to lead the charge.</p>

<p>Mac Jones, though not a regular starter for the 49ers, made a compelling case for himself in the recent victory over the Saints.<strong> He delivered an impressive performance, completing 26 of 29 passes for 279 yards. </strong>In addition, he threw <strong>three touchdowns</strong>, signaling his readiness to step up in Brock Purdy’s absence.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indianapolis Colts</a></strong> made 19 drives without needing to punt during the start of this <strong>NFL</strong> season. In Week 3, on their 20th drive, the Tennessee Titans forced them to do so. But that begs the question, what’s the record for most drives without a punt?</p>



<p>Ironically enough, the record belongs to this same franchise. <strong>In 2015, the Indianapolis Colts chained 23 consecutive drives without punting. </strong>The streak was three games long.</p>



<p>The second one belongs to the Patriots in 2010, where they got 21 drives without a punt. Then, <strong>it’s the 2025 Colts who punted until their 20th drive</strong>. Hence, the Colts hold the best and third-best streaks of all time.</p>



<h2>Daniel Jones is overachieving</h2>



<p>When Daniel Jones arrived in Indianapolis, he wasn’t even the clear-cut QB1. He had to fight to get the starting spot against Anthony Richardson but <strong>the decision proved to be the right one as the Colts’ offense has looked incredible</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/19105005/daniel-jones-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Daniel Jones" class="wp-image-475217" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Daniel Jones #17 of the Indianapolis Colts </figcaption></figure>



<p>More than the offense, <strong>individually Jones is having arguably the best season of his career. </strong>Under Shane Steichen’s scheme, Jones has looked comfortable and displaying good performances both in the passing and running department.</p>

<h2>Indianapolis has the tools to keep getting better</h2>



<p>Though they already punted and will continue to punt as the season goes, the Colts have the potential to really become a top-tier unit. <strong>They have an incredible tight end in rookie Tyler Warren</strong>. Their receiving corp is made of Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce and Josh Downs. Pair that to the star running back Jonathan Taylor and the potential is unlimited.</p>



<p>Now it’s up to Jones to keep playing to his best and this team could become a sleeper candidate to be a dark horse this season. <strong>The division is really up for grabs and they are in the early lead to win it.</strong></p>

<p>When the Steelers decided to sign Aaron Rodgers, there were plenty of doubts about his arrival in Pittsburgh. He’s an <strong>incredibly talented QB</strong>, but his rocky stint with the Jets raised concerns among fans.</p>



<p>After two games, <strong>Rodgers has shown he can still be a reliable quarterback</strong>. In Week 3, he made history again by throwing a touchdown against the Patriots.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a></strong> are considering <strong>Adrian Martinez</strong> as a viable backup option this season. Martinez, who was on the New York Jets’ roster last year, provides a level of reliability for the team, given his recent NFL experience.</p>



<p>Coming from Kansas State, Martinez is a relatively fresh face in the NFL, making the transition last year but yet to make an official impact on the field. His collegiate career was marked by impressive stats from 2018 to 2022, <strong>including 45 touchdowns, 2,928 passing yards, and appearances in 49 games split between Nebraska and Kansas State. </strong>This background positions him well for potential contributions to the 49ers this season.</p>



<p><strong>Initially entering the NFL with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent on May 12, 2023, Martinez’s career has been a whirlwind.</strong> He was waived by the Lions on August 28, 2023, before signing with the New York Jets on July 27, 2024. He spent that year on the Jets’ practice squad and was waived on August 24, 2025.</p>



<h2>How old is Martinez?</h2>



<p><strong>At 25 years old, Martinez was born on January 7, 2000, in Hanford, CA. </strong>Highlighting his versatility, in 2024, he claimed the MVP trophy in the UFL Championship, presented by none other than Tom Brady, after leading the Birmingham Stallions to victory.</p>

<h2>How tall is Martinez?</h2>



<p><strong>Standing at 6’2″ (188 cm), Martinez holds a mid-range position among the tallest players on the 49ers roster. </strong>By comparison, he edges out Purdy, who stands at 6’1″, according to Pro Football Reference.</p>



<h2>Contractual insights</h2>



<p>While details of his current contract with the 49ers are somewhat opaque, <em>Over The Cap</em> <strong>reports that Martinez has signed a $234,000 one-year contract, lacking any guaranteed money.</strong></p>



<h2>What jersey number will Martinez have?</h2>



<p><strong>Martinez will don the number 4 jersey for the 49ers, transitioning from the number 15 he wore with the Jets. </strong>Although waiting for his official NFL debut, he played preseason games with the Lions in 2023 and with the Jets last year.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks">Seattle Seahawks</a>‘ defensive tackle Byron Murphy II </strong>made a solid impression during his rookie NFL season. The 23-year-old finished with 36 tackles and 0.5 sacks in 2024, showing flashes of what was coming.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In two games this campaign, he has completed<strong> 11 tackles for 1.5 sacks </strong>with the Seahawks, one of the most intriguing teams in the NFC. Murphy went against the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive line in Week 1 and then against the Pittsburgh Steelers’ in Week 2, putting pressure on Brock Purdy and Aaron Rodgers to ruin their scoring plans.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Week 3 presents a seemingly easier matchup, as he’ll go against one of the worst O-lines in the league, the <strong>New Orleans Saints</strong>. Murphy is set to take his game to the next level and Sunday’s game could confirm that he is entering a dominant era.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Byron Murphy II predicted to feast against the Saints&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Michael Hanich of YardBarker wrote on Wednesday that going against the Saints will give Murphy <strong>another chance to shine </strong>and let opponents know they should worry whenever they go against the Seahawks.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/07141528/Byron-Murphy-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Byron Murphy" class="wp-image-288273" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Byron Murphy Jr playing for the Vikings. </figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><em>“New Orleans’ offensive line came into the season ranked among the bottom top in the offensive line units by PFF. The unit hasn’t gotten much better through the start of the two games, especially with center Cesar Ruiz,”</em></strong> he wrote. “<em>He was the lowest graded Saints offensive player in each of the first two games. Ruiz graded out at 36.5 in the week one loss to the Arizona Cardinals and remained the lowest-rated offensive player. This Sunday’s game against the Saints can be another statement game for Murphy, as he can use it to gain more momentum and develop good habits. There are several elements that the Seahawks’ defense will look to improve, including defending against the mid-range passing game.”</em></p>



<p>The Seahawks are one of the favorites to win the NFC West division title, and these are the games they must win to get closer to that. Murphy is showing intriguing traits,<strong> and he’s just starting his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> journey.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Daniel Jones </strong>is enjoying a sweet moment with the Indianapolis Colts after spending the first six years of his career with the New York Giants. The veteran quarterback endured playing behind a shaky offensive line that hurt his production at times, which is completely to opposite of what he has in Indianapolis.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Jones is one of the <strong>biggest surprises in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong> after two weeks of action. He has completed 45 of 63 pass attempts for 588 yards and two touchdowns. He has also shown off his mobility with 13 carries for 28 yards and three touchdowns for the 2-0 Colts.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The team boasts this record for the first time in over a decade, and<strong> Jones is mainly responsible for that.</strong> Indy beat the Denver Broncos in Week 2 in a dramatic showdown that was decided by a last-second field goal.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Daniel Jones praises Colts’ offensive line amid 2-0 start</h2>



<p>Talking with Kay Adams on her “Up &amp; Adams” show on Wednesday, Jones raved about <strong>his new offensive line</strong> and how it allows him and the running game to produce against any situation.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/19105005/daniel-jones-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Daniel Jones" class="wp-image-475217" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Daniel Jones #17 of the Indianapolis Colts </figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><em>“Very, very good,”</em></strong> Jones said.<em> “I think pass pro has been incredible. We’ve run the ball well when we needed to run it. They’re locked in, and Tony Sparano, the O-line coach, does a great job getting them prepped, picking up blitzes, knowing what the team’s doing.”</em></p>



<p>The Colts will face off against the <strong>Tennessee Titans </strong>in Week 3, hoping to extend their unbeaten streak to 3-0 against a winless team that is still figuring out how to help rookie quarterback Cam Ward.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After being dominated by the Tom Brady-owned Las Vegas Raiders in the season opener, the <strong>New England Patriots</strong> bounced back in Week 2 and gave the Miami Dolphins their second loss of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season.&nbsp;</p>



<p>They score 20 more points than in Week 1 (33 to 13), showing off a dynamic offense led by second-year quarterback <strong>Drake Maye</strong>. The former North Carolina playmaker went 19 of 23 for 230 yards and two touchdowns passing, while carrying the ball 10 times for 31 yards and one touchdown.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Patriots went through changes in the offseason, bringing in a new coaching staff to try to right the ship after Jerod Mayo’s first and only season coaching the team <strong>became a disaster.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<h2>Drake Maye explains what changed for the Patriots from Week 1 to Week 2</h2>



<p>Maye explained that <strong>the Patriots were upset</strong> after losing to the Raiders, and they channeled that anger to the Dolphins. The quarterback looked more comfortable, making plays left and right.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/24140725/drake-maye-2-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Drake Maye New England Patriots" class="wp-image-425540" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots </figcaption></figure>



<p>“<strong><em>I think there was a little fire under us,”</em></strong> Maye said. <em>“Week 1, you’re kind of anticipating. What’s this like, new team, new guys. Week 2, you want to get back at it, and we know we didn’t put our best football out there Week 1. So, just the mindset of what we can do and just trying to bring it every week. There are still things to learn from on the tape and areas to improve. I think just a little fire under us, and hopefully we bring that this Sunday.”</em></p>



<p>The Patriots will host the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> in Week 3, hoping to give Aaron Rodgers and Co. their second loss of the 2025 season. Maye is set to extend his momentum and confirm that Week 1 was just a fluke.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bijan Robinson has evolved year after year until becoming one of the best running backs in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. The<strong> Atlanta Falcons </strong>star doesn’t get as much attention as Saquon Barkley or Derrick Henry, but he’s right there with those two in terms of production.&nbsp;</p>



<p>After <strong>a terrific 2024 season</strong> in which he carried the ball 304 times and racked up 1,456 yards and 14 touchdowns, Robinson entered this campaign as one of the best players in his position.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Coach <strong>Raheem Morris </strong>is really fond of the former Texas Longhorns, who started this season with 34 carries and 167 yards. Robinson is still drawing positive comments<strong>,</strong> and Morris gave him the ultimate praise.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Raheem Morris says Bijan Robinson is the best player in the NFL&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Besides becoming one of the best players in his position, Robinson is considered the best player in the league,<strong> at least for his coach.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong><em>“He’s definitely the best player in football, without a doubt,”</em></strong> he said Wednesday. “<em>He’s unbelievable. I love the kid. I love everything about him. I love watching him with the ball. I love his confidence. I love his demeanor. I love his mindset. I love the leadership. I love everything about him.”</em></p>



<p>The Atlanta Falcons rank second in the NFC South division after losing the season opener against the <strong>Tampa Bay Buccaneers a</strong>nd beating the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. Robinson doesn’t seem to be playing at his best level, but the season is still young. He still has a big room for improvement, which will benefit Michael Penix Jr. and Co.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Xavier Legette</strong> has struggled to find consistency in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, going from a regular rookie season to a disappointing start to the 2025 season. The South Carolina product played 16 games in 2024, finishing with 49 catches on 84 targets for 497 yards and four touchdowns.&nbsp;</p>



<p>His sophomore campaign is<strong> off to a concerning start. </strong>He has caught only four passes on 15 targets, racking up eight yards and zero touchdowns so far. Legette was expected to become a solid target for Bryce Young, but his performance is already making people question if he’s good enough to be a starter.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The 2024<strong> No. 32 overall pick </strong>could lose his job soon if his performance stays the same.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Xavier Legette might be benched, says NFL analyst&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Legette’s lack of separation and explosiveness and his performance in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, put him under fire, with fans calling for him to be benched. David Newton of ESPN wrote on Wednesday that Legette <strong>could end up losing his starting role if this situation continues.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/27160412/Bryce-Young-quarterback-of-the-Carolina-Panthers-2-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Bryce Young, quarterback of the Carolina Panthers" class="wp-image-268278" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Bryce Young, quarterback of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



<p>“<em>The 32nd pick of the 2024 draft had one catch for minus-2 yards Sunday and through two games has four catches on 15 targets for 8 yards. Coach Dave Canales says he still believes in Legette, but is there reason to? Legette had only a 58.3% catch rate last year and worked hard during the offseason to improve that.<strong> Instead, he has gone backward and is at 26.7%. He should be in danger of being replaced,</strong></em>” he wrote.</p>



<p>The Panthers<strong> are 0-2 </strong>ahead of Week 3, and nothing suggests they will improve their performance at some point. Bryce Young has been questioned, too, which could mean they are headed into an offseason of changes.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Josh Johnson</strong>‘s career has been an up and down ride. A decade-plus-long veteran, he now finds himself as part of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Washington Commanders</strong></a> roster. However, there is plenty to uncover about this man’s life, career and NFL numbers.</p>



<p>Johnson has played nine seasons in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. However, <strong>his debut year was back in 2009.</strong> Meaning, Johnson has been an on-and-off presence in the NFL for decade and a half. </p>



<p><strong>Having played for seven teams, Johnson has been around the block a lot. </strong>Now, the journeyman could face a new challenge as a quarterback of one of the most prominent teams in the NFC.</p>



<h2>How old is Josh Johnson?</h2>



<p><strong>Born on May 15, 1986, Johnson is 39 years old</strong>. Playing out of Oakland California, Johnson made his way to the NFL after playing for San Diego at the collegiate level and then getting drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fifth round.</p>

<h2>What is Josh Johnson’s weight?</h2>



<p><strong>Johnson is 219 lbs, making him a sizeable quarterback</strong>. While he is not impossible to bring down, he does have the poise and stability to withstand in the pocket while getting pressured.</p>



<h2>How tall is Josh Johnson?</h2>



<p><strong>The NFL veteran Josh Johnson stands at 6-foot-3,</strong> which is approximately 1,90m tall. This is a very standard height for an NFL quarterback. Usually, teams look for tall QBs so they can see over the towering presences in the line of scrimmage.</p>



<h2>What are Josh Johnson’s NFL stats?</h2>



<p>From 2009 to 2025 with some hiatuses in between, Josh Johnson has played 49 games in the NFL, but started only nine. <strong>As a starter, he has a 1-8 record</strong>. His last winning start was back in 2018 playing with the team he is now, Washington.</p>



<p>His career completion percentage is<strong> 58.1% and has thrown for 2297 yards, 13</strong> <strong>touchdowns and 16 interceptions</strong>. Johnson’s passer rating is 70.7. Those are, effectively, backup numbers in the NFL.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Falcons</a></strong> see no reason to retain <strong>Kirk Cousins</strong>. For that reason, the NFC South team has <strong>set a final price on the veteran quarterback</strong> for any club interested in trading for him.</p>



<p>With <strong>Michael Penix Jr. relegating <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kirk-cousins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kirk Cousins</a></strong> to the backup role, the Falcons are looking to rebuild their quarterback room. <strong>Atlanta prefers to move on from the veteran</strong>, although the asking price may be considered steep.</p>



<p>On Sunday, prior to Week 3, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that the <strong>Falcons are targeting a “premium” draft pick for Cousins</strong> — a price tag that may not be very attractive to other teams in the league.</p>



<h2>Which teams could trade for Kirk Cousins?</h2>



<p>The Falcons face a challenging task in trading Kirk Cousins. While the veteran is a <strong>respected signal-caller in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong>, his recent <strong>performances and the asking price make it difficult</strong> to find a <strong>trading partner</strong>.</p>

<p>Atlanta has yet to receive any trade offers for Cousins. However, the 2025 NFL season has already seen <strong>multiple quarterback injuries</strong>, which could open the door for a team to pursue the veteran.</p>



<p>As of now, the <strong>Bengals and 49ers appear to be the most likely landing spots</strong> for Cousins. Both clubs have lost their starting quarterbacks to injury, with <strong>Joe Burrow potentially sidelined until December</strong>.</p>



<h2>It’s also a money issue</h2>



<p>Any team that decides to trade for Kirk Cousins will also need to address his salary. The veteran has a <strong>lucrative contract</strong>, with roughly<strong> $135 million remaining over the 2025–2027 seasons</strong>.</p>

It’s an AFC West showdown and Justin Herbert saw how his weapon, <strong>Ladd McConkey</strong>, was not able to log practices during the week. Will he play?</p>



<p>McConkey was cleared to play. <strong>The second-year wide receiver was dealing with a bicep issue but was able to practice late in the week and is ready to play against the Broncos </strong>in a dream matchup against reigning Defensive Player of the Year, cornerback Patrick Surtain II.</p>



<p>McConkey is the best receiver in the Chargers and has great chemistry with quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-herbert" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Herbert</a>. However, it’s a tough matchup. <strong>McConkey will have to use his prolific route running and strong hands to try and create some separation and grab contested catches</strong>.</p>



<h2>Keenan Allen is resurging</h2>



<p>After one year in Chicago, many wrote Keenan Allen out. The 33-year-old was the best receiver in the Bears but then <strong>came back to the team that saw him develop into one of the best receivers in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-herbert" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong>. However, McConkey had arrived and his role was to play second fiddle.</p>

<p>Apparently no one gave Allen the memo, as he has played incredibly well during these first two weeks of action. <strong>He has 12 catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns so far in the season.</strong> </p>

<h2>Herbert is an early MVP candidate</h2>



<p>It’s early in the season but Justin Herbert is looking like an early candidate to win the MVP. <strong>He’s thrown for 560 yards, five touchdowns, no interceptions and 72.1% of passes completed</strong>.</p>



<p>He has diminished the Chiefs and Raiders defense to dust. <strong>Having guys like McConkey and Allen certainly help but the fact of the matter is that Herbert is sending perfect spirals every single time</strong>. If you’re open, he will find you.</p>

However, as they prepare for their Week 3 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, the burgundy and gold will have one weapon come back after being sidelined.

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a></strong> went from a bad team to one that got one game away from a Super Bowl. Many factors contributed to that 180 turn, but the biggest one of them all was getting <strong>Jayden Daniels</strong> as their quarterback. However, as they prepare for a Week 3 showdown against the <strong>Las Vegas Raiders</strong>, the second-year QB won’t be able to suit up.</p>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniels</a> suffered a knee injury, prompting the Commanders to go to their plan B, backup Marcus Mariota</strong>. Daniels’ injury happened on the Thursday Night Football game of Week 2 against the Packers, and despite having a long week to recover, the team would rather not risk him.</p>



<p>Now, <strong>the Commanders face a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Raiders</a> team that ranks 27th in passing defense</strong>, which could give Mariota a good chance to ball out, despite being a backup signal-caller. The Raiders don’t put much pressure to the quarterback and Kliff Kingsbury has been excellent as offensive coordinator.</p>



<h2>Can Mariota replicate what Daniels do?</h2>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marcus-mariota" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mariota</a> is also a highly mobile quarterback with elusiveness and explosiveness</strong>. Daniels is faster and more agile, but at least both can opt to use their legs to create plays. They have similarities but rely on different strengths.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/15143936/marcus-mariota-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Marcus Mariota #0 of the Washington Commanders." class="wp-image-492363" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Marcus Mariota #0 of the Washington Commanders.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Throwing the ball though, Daniels is a way more polished QB in terms of going through progressions, decision making and having a better arm. <strong>Mariota is a veteran though, and he knows <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> schemes</strong>. That, paired with a good playcaller like Kingsbury, and this offense could still make some noise.</p>

<h2>Mariota has some allies</h2>



<p>Washington has the chance to rely on other players to help Mariota out. For example, <strong>rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt will have the chance to establish the running game in a workhorse role</strong>.</p>



<p>Also, <strong>the Commanders acquired unicorn Deebo Samuel</strong>. Originally a wide receiver, Samuel can be used as a running back, a decoy, and/or be lined up in every wideout position. Whether in the X, Z or slot, Samuel can produce.</p>

<h2>Will D’Andre Swift play for the Bears against the Cowboys in Week 3?</h2>
