The Atlanta Falcons came away with a win on Sunday, but there are still some concerns over the play of quarterback Marcus Mariota. At times this season, head coach Arthur Smith has been criticized for limiting Mariota’s passing attempts. However, Smith allowed his QB to throw the ball 28 times in Week 8.
Mariota completed 20-of-28 pass attempts for 253 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions during Sunday’s 37-34 win over the Panthers. While he continues to make plays with his legs (43 rushing yards), the team is still struggling to stretch the field in the passing game.
