Today, the Seahawks and Commanders will once again experience a change in their quarterback positions. As they face off at Northwest Stadium this afternoon, Sam Darnold, recovering from an injury he sustained in Week 1, will return for the 2026 Super Bowl champions. Meanwhile, Marcus Mariota will get the start for the Commanders, stepping in after Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow.
While Darnold has been out, backup Drew Lock has impressed, leading Seattle to victories against the Patriots and Cardinals in their initial games. In contrast, Washington has struggled to begin their season, suffering a close 24-22 loss to the Eagles in their opener, followed by Daniels’ injury during a challenging game against the Cowboys last week.
Coming into their home opener, the Seahawks are favored by 7.5 points, according to oddsmakers.
