Seahawks regroup after loss, look toward hosting the Chargers on Sunday
The defending Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks, faced a setback after a 33-31 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday. This marked the end of a 12-game winning streak for Seattle. Quarterback Sam Darnold, who returned from a glute injury, threw two interceptions, including a pick-6 that proved decisive. Rookie Jadarian Price also fumbled early, costing the Seahawks a possession.
Darnold's turnovers spoiled what could have been a strong performance; he completed 31 of 45 passes for 379 yards and four touchdowns. Despite the loss, Seattle's offense displayed resilience, and coach Mike Macdonald expressed optimism about the team's potential. The defense, however, struggled to force any turnovers. Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a standout game, while the run game fell short.
The Seahawks will host the L.A. Chargers next Sunday, seeking to bounce back from this disappointing result.
