Don't miss the Seattle Seahawks vs Washington Commanders game this week on Sunday Night Football. Live coverage begins at 7 PM ET.

Sunday spoke how ludicrous an afternoon in the NFL can be. Leads crumbled. Upsets reigned. Contenders faltered.

Dan Quinn's Commanders defense, after all, struggled mightily during the club's three-game slide leading into Sunday night's matchup, surrendering 44 points to Dallas before a 28-7 rout at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs.

NFL broadcaster Cris Collinsworth made a sly government shutdown joke on Sunday night as the Seattle Seahawks pulverized the Washington Commanders.

The Seahawks defense put together another strong performance to help the Seahawks to a road win over the commanders.

The Seattle Seahawks are reportedly being very aggressive ahead of the NFL trade deadline and that shows general manager John Schneider is all in on this team, which is currently one of the best in the league.

Coach Mike Macdonald says postgame here in Washington it’s possible LB Ernest Jones misses a game or two with injured knee, but #Seahawks don’t know yet.

The Seahawks have hit on early draft picks at a high rate. Sound asset management allows them to continue building for the future as they contend.
