The Seattle Seahawks (5-2) return from the bye Sunday Night on Football Night in America in our nation’s capital as they take the field against the Washington Commanders (3-5).
Fair to say the Seahawks have overachieved to date on the season as they sit tied with the Rams atop the NFC West while its also fair to say the Commanders have underachieved as they sit one game out of last in the NFC East.
Sam Darnold joined Seattle as a free agent in the offseason and has been tremendous averaging just over nine yards per attempt as Mike Macdonald’s offense is nearly always in attack mode. Jayden Daniels has been in and out of the lineup for the Commanders and that inconsistency has translated into an offense that has cracked the 30-point barrier just once this season and is averaging just over 22 points per game.
Fun Fact: The Seahawks will wear their royal blue throwback jerseys along with the silver helmet and pants for the second time this season and sixth time overall since debuting the uniform set in 2023. It will be the first time that the Seahawks will wear these uniforms on Sunday Night Football.

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper): Seattle Seahawks -3½ (-103)
Selling out to -3.5 to back the elite defense and rested/healthy offense. The injury status for the Commanders portents consistent pressure and poor rushing performance which means Seattle needs about 20 points here to cover the number.
