In a decisive Week 3 matchup, the Seattle Seahawks topped the Washington Commanders with a final score of 24 to 8, solidifying their position early in the 2026 season. The Seahawks capitalized on their offensive momentum, showcasing their talent against a struggling Commanders defense. Bo Nix was the standout performer for Seattle, completing 193 passing yards and throwing two touchdown passes, demonstrating his command of the game. D'Andre Swift complemented the aerial attack with a strong ground game, racking up 92 rushing yards, while Justin Jefferson emerged as a reliable target, amassing 82 receiving yards. Together, they propelled the Seahawks to a comfortable victory. Defensively, the Seahawks maintained a strong presence, limiting the Commanders to just eight points. Although Washington's Ja'Quan McMillian led the team with five total tackles and Kyle Hamilton notched an interception, the Seahawks' defense effectively stifled any potential scoring threats. The turning point came in the second quarter when Seattle's defensive unit forced a critical turnover, allowing them to extend their lead and control the game from that point forward.
