Washington beat the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks 33-31, moving to 1-2. SB Nation’s report card gave coaching an A-plus. Backup Marcus Mariota threw three touchdowns without an interception; the pass defense got a C after allowing 379 yards and four touchdown passes.
Mariota completed 19 of 31 passes for 183 yards, while Terry McLaurin caught six for 77 yards and a touchdown. SB Nation graded the passing offense A-minus and the rushing offense C-plus: Washington averaged 2.6 yards per carry on 32 attempts, but a 19-yard third-down run forced Seattle to use all its timeouts on the closing drive.
The report card gave Washington’s run defense an A after it held Seattle to 2.4 yards per carry, and special teams a B. Drew Stevens made field goals from 57 and 36 yards but missed an extra point. The pass rush had five quarterback hits but no sacks; Sonny Styles’ interception and Kain Medrano’s pick-six were key positives.
