With Jayden Daniels out due to a knee injury, the Washington Commanders turned to veteran backup Marcus Mariota for their Week 3 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. Mariota immediately made an impression on head coach Dan Quinn, just not in the way he had prepared for.
The 31-year-old is still as nimble as he was when he won the 2014 Heisman Trophy. He showed off that athleticism on a run play in the first half, which unfortunately ended with him getting shoved out of bounds and colliding directly into Quinn.
The impact sent the 55-year-old onto his back, and the collision visibly caused a cut on his nose.

That did not deter Quinn for a second, who quickly popped back up to his feet and resumed coaching. Quinn did not address the cut on his nose and celebrated a Matt Gay field goal with blood on his face just minutes later.
