In a thrilling matchup, the Washington Commanders topped the Seattle Seahawks 37-26 in Week 3 of the 2026 season. The victory solidified the Commanders’ position as a team to watch this season, while the Seahawks faced a setback in their quest for a strong start. Sam Darnold showcased his arm strength for Seattle, racking up 340 passing yards and throwing three touchdown passes, while Cooper Kupp was a standout target, catching for 145 yards. Despite Darnold's impressive performance, the Seahawks struggled to establish a consistent ground game, which hampered their offensive rhythm. Defensively, the Commanders made crucial plays, with Quan Martin securing an interception that shifted momentum in their favor. Sonny Styles led the way with five tackles, helping to contain the Seahawks' explosive passing attack. The turning point came late in the third quarter when Martin’s pick set up a key touchdown drive, allowing Washington to maintain their lead and ultimately secure the win.
