Marcus Mariota Got Destroyed Lost His Helmet, Shoe and the Football
By Jason McIntyre
Marcus Mariota had one of the greatest rookie QB debuts in NFL history last week against hapless Tampa, but he’s finding out what NFL life can be like against a real defense on the road. Cleveland is confusing Mariota with an array of blitzes, and on this one, he was totally sandwiched. High and low. His helmet pops off, so does a shoe, and he fumbled as well.
Cleveland already has a 14-0 lead in the 2nd quarter.
