In a tightly contested matchup, the Seattle Seahawks narrowly defeated the Washington Commanders 10-6 in Week 3 of the 2026 season. With both teams vying for an early-season boost, the stakes were high, but it was the Seahawks who emerged victorious thanks to a combination of offensive efficiency and defensive prowess. Seattle's Jalen Milroe was a standout performer, leading the charge with 188 passing yards and adding 39 rushing yards to his tally. Elijah Arroyo stepped up as his primary target, racking up 70 receiving yards and providing critical plays that kept the Seahawks ahead. The offense managed to put together just enough scoring to secure the win, despite the Commanders' fierce resistance. Defensively, the Seahawks were dominant, with DeMarcus Lawrence making a significant impact by recording 3.5 sacks, consistently pressuring the Commanders' quarterback. Leonard Williams contributed with four total tackles, solidifying the front line, while Sonny Styles grabbed an interception for Washington, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome. The turning point came in the second half when Lawrence's relentless pursuit forced a crucial turnover, allowing Seattle to maintain their slim lead and ultimately seal the victory.
