The Seattle Seahawks dominated the Washington Commanders on “Sunday Night Football,” winning 38-14. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold threw for four touchdowns in the first half, with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba having a standout performance with eight catches for 129 yards and Tory Horton catching two TDs. A major blow for the Commanders was a significant injury to rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who dislocated his elbow, putting his non-throwing arm in an air cast after an awkward tackle. The loss adds to the Commanders’ woes, dropping them to 3-5 and raising questions about their direction heading into the trade deadline. Meanwhile, the Seahawks, now 6-2, look like strong contenders in the NFC due in large part to Darnold’s high level of play since joining the team.
