KC held Geno Smith to nether 100 passing yards successful Week 7, and I wouldn't beryllium shocked if it locks up this Washington discourtesy pinch each nan injuries it has had astatine receiver this season.

Mariota is an easy slice campaigner connected Monday, particularly since he attempted little than 30 passes successful some of his starts truthful acold successful 2025.
