In a decisive Week 3 matchup, the Seattle Seahawks topped the Washington Commanders 27-14, solidifying their position in the early stages of the 2026 season. With both teams eager to establish momentum, the Seahawks delivered a strong performance, showcasing their offensive firepower and defensive prowess. Leading the charge for Seattle was quarterback Sam Darnold, who threw for an impressive 360 yards and three touchdowns, effectively orchestrating the offense. Despite a challenging day on the ground with only 16 rushing yards from Zach Charbonnet, the Seahawks’ passing game was more than enough to secure the victory. On the other side, Terry McLaurin shone for the Commanders, racking up 112 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to overcome Seattle's offensive onslaught. Defensively, the Seahawks were relentless, with DeMarcus Lawrence dominating the line with 3.5 sacks, creating constant pressure on Washington's quarterback. The game’s turning point came in the second quarter when Terrion Arnold intercepted a pass, shifting momentum firmly in Seattle's favor. The combination of timely defensive plays and a potent aerial attack ultimately led the Seahawks to a well-earned victory.
