The Seattle Seahawks are back in action following their thrashing of the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2. Now they return to our nation's capital, where they dismantled the Washington Commanders 38-14 last season. But will they have a similarly enjoyable trip back east this time around?
Seattle is 2-0 and they are getting starting quarterback Sam Darnold back into the fold. Meanwhile, the 0-2 Commanders will be without their starter, Jayden Daniels.
Can the Seahawks keep their winning ways going? We at Seahawks Wire, as well as our friend Bryan Manning of Commanders Wire, give you our scores and predictions for this Week 3 showdown between NFC foes.

Seahawks 27,
Commanders 10: The Seattle Seahawks are a wagon right now, and the Commanders don't match up well against them. I predict Seattle will be conservative and milk the clock to get out of the "other" Washington as soon as possible. Seattle wants to take care of business, and protect Sam Darnold. Running the ball as efficiently as they have been will be the one stone to take out the two birds This could lead to a score that is not as indicative of how one-sided it will be.

Seahawks 36, Commanders 12: While Arizona could hang with Seattle for a half, Washington doesn't have a player like Try McBride. sam Darnold returns in emphatic fashion with 3 touchdown passes and Seattle runs for 150+ yards again.

Seahawks 32, Commanders 13: Sam Darnold and returns to find JSN for two scores. He throws three total, with the other going to rookie running back Jadarian Price. Seattle's defense holds the Commanders to only one touchdown and two field goals.

Seahawks 24, Commanders 10: Seattle wins, obviously. If the Commanders weren't this beat up and Daniels was playing, I think this would be a game. Daniels is a special player and was looking like himself the last two weeks. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Washington can’t stop Jaxon Smith-Njigba. I expect him to have 150 yards and two touchdowns alone. The key for the Commanders is to get some pass rush. Offensively, Washington will struggle to run the ball without Daniels. Seahawks win comfortably
