The guy who benefited most from Darnold was rookie wide receiver Tory Horton Jr., who scored two touchdowns in the first half, taking over the team lead with five TDs on the season - six if you also count his 95-yard punt return against the Saints. He caught all four of his targets for 48 yards.

Quarterback Sam Darnold after his perfect 1st half led Seattle Seahawks rout of Commanders at Washington, Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025, in Landover, Maryland.

At some point Darnold will get the credit he deserves. Maybe it will come after Sunday night. Meanwhile, it was a miserable night for the Commanders, and it got worse as Jayden Daniels awkwardly landed on his arm.

The Washington Commanders will try to snap a three-game losing streak when they host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. Kickoff is at 8:20 p.m.

The Seahawks defense put together another strong performance to help the Seahawks to a road win over the commanders.

Dan Quinn's Commanders defense, after all, struggled mightily during the club's three-game slide leading into Sunday night's matchup, surrendering 44 points to Dallas before a 28-7 rout at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The burgundy pants, white jersey and burgundy helmet with three stripes down the center will certainly evoke memories of Gibbs, John Riggins, Joe Theismann, Doug Williams and many others. What's missing will be the team's former Native American head logo, replaced by the Commanders' "W" sigil.

The Seahawks beat the Washington commanders 38-14 after racing to a 28-0 lead in the first half, pulling away behind a dominant performance by quarterback Sam Darnold, another standout showing by the defense and a big takeaway on special teams.
