In a dominating performance, the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Washington Commanders 56-24 in Week 3 of the 2026 season. This matchup was crucial for both teams as they sought to establish momentum early in the season, but the Seahawks showcased their offensive firepower. Leading the charge was quarterback Jayden Daniels, who threw for an impressive 551 yards and six touchdowns, showcasing a masterclass in passing. His favorite target, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, had a standout game with 347 receiving yards, making it difficult for the Commanders' secondary to contain the explosive Seattle offense. Daniels also contributed on the ground with 19 rushing yards, proving to be a dual threat throughout the game. Defensively, the Seahawks disrupted Washington's rhythm with key contributions from Julian Love, who recorded four total tackles, and Byron Murphy II, who registered 1.5 sacks. The turning point came in the second quarter when Seattle's defense forced a crucial turnover, allowing the offense to extend their lead and put the game out of reach. Although Quan Martin of the Commanders snagged two interceptions, it wasn't enough to shift the momentum back in their favor.
