NFL world makes fun of Marcus Mariota and his outrageous play against the Panthers
Notably, the 29-year-old QB Mariota was attempting a pass to one of his teammates and the Panthers linebacker Frankie Luvu tripped him. As he was falling, he did not touch the ball on the ground and attempted a pass while still lying on the ground.

Meanwhile, one fan took a dig at Mahomes and the fans for trying to promote the Chiefs QB all the time.
I bet if mahomes did this they'd somehow turn it into look at the athleticism.

Meanwhile, the Falcons suffered their second loss in a row after losing against the Chargers last Sunday. Notably, the Falcons won a thrilling game in overtime against the Panthers at the end of October. Now, the Panthers got their revenge against the Falcons.
On the other hand, this loss will cost them in the playoffs, as they have now lost 6 out of 10 games played. Currently, they are in the second position in the NFC South division, behind Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are also not having a great season. However, they still have a player like Tom Brady, who could prove decisive for them.
With the Bucs trying to qualify for the playoffs, it will be tough for Mariota and the Falcons to reach there in this current season.
