Overview
- The Seahawks visit the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday and live TV on FOX plus streaming options such as Sling TV.
- Sam Darnold is active to start for Seattle after a short injury absence, following strong backup play by Drew Lock that helped the defending champions to a 2-0 record.
- Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow on Sept. 20, and Washington named Marcus Mariota the Week 3 starter, with Mariota completing 11 of 16 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown in relief last week.
- Early-season numbers set contrasting expectations: Seattle’s defense has allowed 17 total points with four interceptions and five sacks through two games while Washington has surrendered 61 points and recorded no interceptions.
- Oddsmakers list Seattle as about a seven-point favorite, a line shaped by Seattle’s turnover generation and Washington’s planned run-first attack, which will test whether Mariota can protect the ball and sustain drives.
