The Commanders beat Seattle 33-31, ending the Seahawks’ 12-game streak; three turnovers yielded 21 points. Sam Darnold threw four TD passes in his return but also a fourth-quarter pick-six. Marcus Mariota sealed the win after Seattle pulled within two late.
Seattle fell to 2-1. Its defense held Washington to 258 yards and four yards per play, but the Seahawks struggled to run and turned a goal-to-go possession into a turnover on downs.
Mariota is now 3-0 as a starting quarterback against Seattle; his previous wins came with Tennessee and Atlanta. Seattle next hosts the 0-3 Los Angeles Chargers on Oct. 4 at 1:25 p.m. PT on CBS, beginning a run of five home games over six weeks.
