The Washington Commanders’ early turnover against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night was enough to make NFL legend Peyton Manning scream during the game’s “ManningCast.”
Manning and every other NFL fan watching the game saw Marcus Mariota’s pass to Deebo Samuel leave his target’s mask and fall into the hands of Chiefs defensive end Mike Danna for an interception on the opening drive.

“Oh no, you’re kidding. It can’t happen!” Manning said as he put his head in his hands. “Another wide receiver screen. I like it. Take it out of your hand, hit Deebo. It went from his hands to his mask, right at the defender. God!
“He took his eye off her… Sick.”
The Commanders kept the game tied in the first half. The two teams were tied at seven apiece before halftime. But the Chiefs broke the game open in the second half while the Commanders’ offense failed to get anything done. Kansas City won the game 28-7.

“It was a tale of two halves,” Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin said. “We kind of left some things on the field in the first half that we felt like we could have executed. The defense did a great job of giving us the ball back twice. We have to capitalize on that. In the second half, they executed a lot better than we did.”
Mariota was 21 of 30 with 213 yards, a touchdown pass to McLaurin and two interceptions. He was also fired twice.
“We came out okay,” Mariota said, “but when we’re not converting our offenses against this type of team, it’s tough, because they’ll get going. I think our defense did a good job of containing them, making plays and creating turnovers.”
