The Seattle Seahawks are on the cusp of a blazing 3-0 start, marching into Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders with the entire Emerald City buzzing. It’s Week 3, the stakes are real, and our rookie running back Jadarian Price is still searching for that first career touchdown.
The “Very Unique” Comeback and a Defensive Wall
Look, the vibes are immaculate in Seattle. Our defense? Absolute brick wall. They’ve let up a grand total of 17 points through two games. Seventeen! That’s the fewest points allowed by any team through two weeks since 2013. Think about that for a second. That kind of defensive dominance sets up everything for the offense, taking immense pressure off whoever is under center.
And speaking of under center, Sam Darnold is back, baby! He’s making his first start since picking up that “very unique soft-tissue injury.” You know what that means for our offensive coordinator, Brian Fleury? Protect the QB, pound the rock. Washington is also down its starting quarterback, Jayden Daniels, which only screams “run game emphasis” even louder. All signs point to the Seahawks leaning hard on the ground game to secure this critical 3-0 start.
It’s Time for Price to Find Paydirt, 12s!
This is where Jadarian Price comes in, front and center. Our rookie RB has turned 26 touches into 118 yards so far this season. Solid numbers, especially for a new guy. But here’s the kicker, the one stat that’s eating at all of us: zero trips to the end zone. Zero touchdowns. Can you believe it? The dude’s been grinding, showing flashes, but that elusive first score is still out there.
He had a chest injury scare earlier in the week, making us all hold our breath, but the good news is he was a full participant in practice Friday and carries no game designation. He’s ready to roll! It is worth noting Emanuel Wilson took over for Price in the fourth quarter of an earlier game, which just fuels the fire for Price to prove he can finish strong. The oddsmakers even have him at +150 to score anytime on Sunday, which feels like a steal given the circumstances. This has to be the game, right? The O-line is gonna open up holes, Sam’s gonna manage the clock, and Price is gonna break free for his first score. You can feel it.
Our Seahawks are looking to move to 3-0 on Sunday, and a win would solidify our early season form. What better way to cap off an undefeated start than for our rookie Jadarian Price to finally punch one in? Get ready, Seattle. This team is for real, and Price is due.
