How Oregon Ducks performed during NFL Week 4 action
The Oregon Ducks have two starting NFL quarterbacks week in and week out, a testament to the strength of the program over the last decade.
Week 4 saw those two quarterbacks each pick up a win, although the two performances varied wildly in individual success.
Justin Herbert led the Chargers to victory by throwing for 340 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Marcus Mariota only completed seven passes, while throwing an interception and only rushing for three yards.
Each team is no doubt happy to pick up a victory, but it’s fair to wonder if Mariota will hold on to the starting job for the entire season in Atlanta.
Elsewhere, Kayvon Thibodeaux had a nice second game with New York, Penei Sewell helped Jared Goff and the Lions put up 45 points (but still lose) and Deommodore Lenoir picked up the first sack of his NFL career.
Here is a look at how every Oregon alumni performed during NFL Week 4 action:

Mariota picked up his second win with the Atlanta Falcons, but it wasn’t pretty. He completed just 7-of-19 passes for 139 yards and no touchdowns, along with one interception, one sack, and just three rushing yards. Things will need to pick up if he wants to keep his starting job all season.
