In a tightly contested matchup, the Washington Commanders topped the Seattle Seahawks 21-14 in Week 3 of the 2026 season. The victory was crucial for Washington as they look to establish momentum early in the season and solidify their playoff aspirations. Malik Willis was the standout for the Commanders, throwing for 213 yards and orchestrating the offense effectively. On the other side, Jayden Daniels connected for one passing touchdown but struggled to keep pace with Willis's efficiency. Seattle's Adrian Peterson made a significant impact on the ground, rushing for 104 yards, but it wasn’t enough to secure a victory. Defensively, Washington's L'Jarius Sneed led the way with five total tackles, while Nate Landman made a crucial interception that shifted the momentum in the Commanders' favor. Seattle's defense, led by CJ Allen with one sack, applied pressure but failed to contain the Washington offense at key moments. The turning point came late in the game when Landman’s interception set up a touchdown drive that ultimately sealed the win for Washington.
