The Seattle Seahawks are flying high at 2-0, rolling into the final game of September with a road trip to face a Washington Commanders team in absolute freefall at 0-2. This isn’t just another game, it’s our chance to cap off a perfect opening month against a squad that looks completely lost. Jayden Daniels is out injured *again*, so Marcus Mariota’s coming at us for a third time with his *third different team*. Yeah, that tells you all you need to know about their situation.
Health Updates and Commander Chaos
Here in the Emerald City, we’re getting Sam Darnold back in the lineup after he just missed one game with a glute injury. That’s a huge boost, right? But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows on our end. Both starting safeties, Ty Okada and Julian Love, are out, which means we’re going to see A.J. Finley and Rodney Thomas II step up and get the start. Good thing Maxen Hook is available from the practice squad if we need him. While those injuries sting, let’s be real: Washington is way more banged up. Dan Quinn’s team has been a complete mess on defense, and their offense can’t get anything consistent going. This is their first home game after two weeks on the road, so they’ll have that home crowd energy and maybe some bad weather on their side. But does that really count for much when you’re playing a team that’s 15-1 in its last 16 road games? I don’t think so, and neither should you.
Game Day Details for the 12s

After this road battle, the Hawks head back to Lumen Field for a couple of huge home games. First up, the Los Angeles Chargers come to town on October 4, followed by the San Francisco 49ers on October 11. Staying undefeated through September sets us up perfectly for those matchups. This game against Washington is crucial for proving we’re legit and not letting any early season momentum slip away. Let’s get this win, Hawks, and keep that perfect record rolling!
