Winners And Losers From The Seahawks 38 14 Thrashing Of The Commanders

Losers? The only losers were the Commanders and anyone who saw it fit to pick the Commanders to win! If you wanted the Seattle Seahawks to make a big statement on Sunday night, you got it and then some. The Seattle Seahawks smashing up the New Orleans Saints in Week 3 was fun but the Saints are an atrocious team. I know the Washington Commanders are not a very good team, but to go on the road and pummel them when their backs are ostensibly up against the wall in terms of playoff hopes? This was a massive victory out of the bye, and there’s every reason to believe Seattle is a playoff contender.

Let’s get to Winners and Losers after a 38-14 victory that was not nearly as close as the final score indicated. His first half was true perfection. No, literally. He was 16/16 for 282 yards and 4 touchdowns. Sam was only 5/8 for 48 yards and an interception after halftime, which is evidence that the decision by Mike Macdonald to bench him for Drew Lock was wholly justified. Cam Little nailed the longest field goal in NFL history as the Jaguars topped the Raiders, the Patriots extended their win streak, and the Bears pulled off a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback.

The Seattle Seahawks completely crushed the Washington Commanders on the road 38-14 in Week 9 of Sunday Night Football. Stream NBC 5 for free, 24/7, wherever you are. A 24-point second quarter in which everything went Seattle's way proved too much for Washington to overcome in Jayden Daniels' return. However, Daniels couldn't complete the game as he suffered a gruesome left arm injury late in the fourth with the game out of reach. It marked the second straight primetime loss for Washington having lost to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football last time out, though Marcus Mariota was under center.

Sam was only 5/8 for 48 yards and an interception after halftime, which is evidence that the decision by Mike Macdonald to bench him for Drew Lock was wholly justified. In all seriousness, Darnold was in a zone all night and playing like an elite quarterback. Not a good quarterback. Not a great quarterback. An elite quarterback.

Even if he isn’t an elite quarterback every week, the Seahawks can be a Super Bowl caliber team with how he’s performing right now. And not just because they were in their best uniforms: the throwback royal blues and silver. Even the quarterback’s teammates on defense, not even in the game, were in awe. “We were just watching from the sidelines in amazement,” Pro Bowl defensive end Leonard Williams said later. They, the ransacked Washington Commanders and a national-television audience they still remember Darnold flaming out in consecutive Minnesota Vikings losses to end last season watched Seattle’s new quarterback for 2025 pitch a perfect first... Long and short, quickly and patiently, Darnold completed his first 17 passes.

He threw for four touchdowns in the runaway first half alone. Two scores came 11 seconds apart in the decisive second quarter. A ball he threw didn’t hit the ground until the third quarter. “No, I didn’t know that I hadn’t thrown an incompletion,” Darnold said. “It’s pretty cool. “Someone at halftime said to me that I hadn’t thrown an incompletion.

So I think he’s to blame for throwing an incompletion in the second half.” Despite their impressive start, the Seattle Seahawks have spent the first two months of the season flying under the national radar. That probably won’t be the case any longer. The Seahawks delivered an emphatic statement in front of a national primetime audience Sunday night, racing to a 28-0 first-half lead on their way to a 38-14 road thrashing of the Washington Commanders. Seattle Seahawks win: Instant reaction | Stacy Rost | Recap | Box score With the victory, the Seahawks improved to 6-2 and kept pace with the Los Angeles Rams atop the NFC West.

Seattle is now tied with the Rams, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the best record in the NFC. The Washington Commanders' offensive line was nothing short of an abomination throughout. They were sloppy, undisciplined, and unprepared to play. That's a dangerous combination — something the Seattle Seahawks had no trouble taking advantage of. Jayden Daniels was pressured on an astonishing 51 percent of his dropbacks. That is entirely unacceptable, and that's without factoring in costly penalties just when it seemed Washington was capable of generating some momentum.

The talent is there to be more productive, but something isn't clicking. Whether it's the blocking concepts, the coaching, or a lack of motivation is debatable, but things cannot continue like this for much longer. It's the same problems week after week, so some harsh truths are needed with the formidable Detroit Lions defensive front coming to town in Week 10. Washington was expecting more from its investments. They are failing to become the cohesive unit needed, and the price has been extremely costly. It was hard to find any positives from arguably the most pathetic display of the Dan Quinn era in Washington.

Very few came out of the game with something to show for their efforts. It was a brutal reality check about how far the Commanders are from the leading contenders in the NFC, even before quarterback Jayden Daniels got hurt.
