In a thrilling Week 3 showdown, the Washington Commanders narrowly defeated the Seattle Seahawks with a final score of 58-51. The stakes were high as both teams sought to solidify their positions early in the 2026 season, but it was the Commanders who emerged victorious in this offensive battle. Sam Darnold showcased an impressive performance for the Seahawks, throwing for a staggering 684 yards and six touchdowns, leading his team’s charge. On the other side, Jayden Daniels was a force for Washington, rushing for 116 yards and contributing significantly to the Commanders' offensive output. Cooper Kupp also had a standout game for Seattle, racking up 219 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to clinch the win. Defensively, the game was highlighted by Ashtyn Davis' two crucial interceptions for the Commanders, which proved pivotal in stalling Seattle's momentum. The turning point came late in the fourth quarter when Davis intercepted a pass, setting up a touchdown that ultimately sealed the victory for Washington. Although Seattle’s defense had standout performances, including Devon Witherspoon's seven tackles and Derick Hall's 1.5 sacks, they could not contain the timely big plays when it mattered most.
