The Indianapolis Colts defeated the Washington Commanders 30-13 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, a game headlined by another major blow to Washington’s quarterback depth.
Key details from the game:
Mariota’s Injury: Starting in place of franchise quarterback Jayden Daniels (who has been sidelined with an elbow injury), Marcus Mariota exited during the first quarter after suffering a right knee injury on a sack. He was evaluated in the locker room and officially ruled out at halftime.
NBC Sports+ 1Washington’s QB Dilemma: With Mariota out, the Commanders were forced to turn to third-string rookie Athan Kaliakmanis. While Kaliakmanis connected with Treylon Burks for a late touchdown, the offense struggled to find consistent rhythm against Indianapolis’s defense. If Mariota faces extended missed time and Daniels cannot return immediately, Washington heads into Week 5 with serious question marks under center.
NBC SportsColts’ Control: After falling behind 6-0 early, Indianapolis seized momentum behind Jonathan Taylor, who rushed for 95 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Daniel Jones added a rushing score of his own, and kicker Spencer Shrader nailed three field goals to pull the Colts away for a comfortable 17-point victory.
