The Washington Commanders beat the defending Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks, 33-31 in a thrilling game that snapped Seattle's 12-game winning streak. In the first half of their Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered an elbow injury and was replaced by backup Marcus Mariota. Despite the injury, Washington won at home thanks to three crucial turnovers, including a pick-six with 3:57 left in the game. This victory gave the Commanders hope after avoiding an 0-3 start and improved their record to 1-2 for the season. The Seahawks, led by quarterback Sam Darnold, who returned from injury but threw two interceptions, dropped to 2-1 despite a strong performance with 379 passing yards and four touchdowns.
