Sam Darnold is 20-5 as a starting quarterback dating to the start of the 2024 season. Scott Taetsch / Getty Images By Michael-Shawn Dugar, David Aldridge and Alex Valdes Sam Darnold threw four touchdown passes and Jaxon Smith-Njigba topped 100 yards receiving for the sixth time this season as the Seattle Seahawks throttled the Washington Commanders 38-14 on Sunday night. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year, left the game in the fourth quarter after suffering what a league source later told The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala was a dislocated left... X-rays did not reveal a fracture, another league source told Jhabvala, but Daniels will undergo further testing on Monday to determine the full extent of the injury and his expected recovery time.

The Seahawks kept pace with the Los Angeles Rams (both 6-2) in the NFC West, a half-game ahead of the San Francisco 49ers (6-3). The Commanders dropped to 3-6, one game out of the NFC East cellar. The Seahawks made a statement on Sunday night. Seattle won 38-14 over the Commanders, with Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold throwing four touchdowns without an incompletion in the first half. It was a dominant performance that was made worse for Washington when quarterback Jayden Daniels left with his left arm in an aircast in the fourth quarter. This was very impressive.

We were long past wondering if Darnold’s 2024 success with Minnesota was a fluke, and Seattle already looked so smart for moving on from Geno Smith and giving Darnold a $100 million contract. Darnold has never looked better than he did in the first half Sunday night – 16-for-16, 282 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions, just a dominant showing on the road against a solid opponent. If you needed an infomercial on how well offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak’s unit took advantage of Darnold’s strengths and moved the ball so consistently with ease, this was the half to watch. Darnold came into the night with stats very close to his breakout 2024 season: his TD/INT ratio last year was 35-to-12, this year was 12-to-4 before Sunday, now even better at 16-to-5. He’s done that in an offense that traded away DK Metcalf and didn’t have wide receiver Cooper Kupp on Sunday, in part because fellow WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been an All-Pro receiver and a... 1.

Sam Darnold threw four touchdown passes before his first incompletion, and the Seattle Seahawks played a near-perfect first half offensively on their way to a 38-14 rout of the Washington Commanders LANDOVER, Md. -- Sam Darnold was in the type of groove a quarterback rarely experiences. “Someone at halftime said to me that I hadn't thrown an incompletion,” Darnold said. “So I think he's to blame for throwing an incompletion in the second half.” Whether he believes in jinxes or not, Darnold couldn't feel too disappointed.

By the time he threw his first incompletion of the game — early in the third quarter — he'd already tossed four touchdown passes. And his Seattle Seahawks were well on their way to a 38-14 rout of the Washington Commanders on Sunday night. Washington again lost Jayden Daniels to an injury. Daniels, the Commanders' second-year quarterback, left in the fourth quarter after his nonthrowing arm bent gruesomely while he was being tackled near the Seattle goal line.

Greg Fiume / Getty Images LANDOVER, Md. — The beauty of a prime-time beatdown is all the elements of the Seattle Seahawks that the world has the opportunity to observe. And on this night, a 38-14 drubbing of the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium, the Seahawks showcased arguably the most important aspect of the team.

Everyone didn’t just see the excellence of quarterback Sam Darnold, though he is putting on quite the show these days. By touchdown percentage (7.4), completion percentage (70.4), yards per attempt (9.6) and dropback EPA, Darnold is playing like one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Just ask the Washington Commanders, who allowed Seattle’s signal-caller to complete his first 17 passes and throw for four touchdowns — in the first half. Darnold finished with more touchdowns than incompletions (three). “Sam’s execution right now is just ridiculous,” Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said. All those around the nation who either gathered in a bar with friends or cozied up on their couches Sunday night weren’t treated only to another dynamic display from Jaxon Smith-Njigba, though he, too,...

If you are at all like me, then your concern is with the injury status of one Ernest Jones, IV. The proverbial straw that stirs the drink, imo. But, when a player is sitting on the bench with a towel over his head, you know something is more wrong than usual. Here’s hoping that he is okay, and with enough rest and grace, he’ll return to form.
