It was a rough night for Marcus Mariota and the Atlanta Falcons in a 25-15 loss to the similarly hapless Carolina Panthers.
Mariota passed for just 186 yards — yes, I know the Falcons like to run more than they pass, but c’mon — and was sacked five times.
I’d like to focus on one pass attempt that a lot of folks tweeted about: In the fourth quarter, with his team down 22-9, Mariota got hit but thought he could keep the play alive on third down. So he flipped around as he was going down and blindly threw a pass that would have been intercepted for a pick-six … had he not been down on the ground on his back, which meant he was ruled down.
This is it: the worst pass attempt I’ve seen in 2022:
