The Washington Commanders' defense has been nothing short of embarrassing throughout the 2025 campaign. And any fans that were holding out hope for a prime-time surge against the Seattle Seahawks got a brutal reality check early.
Sam Darnold carved up the Commanders throughout a borderline historic first half that few have managed this century. He immediately got into a groove, getting whatever he wanted. The signal-caller had a 100 percent completion rate, threw for more than 250 passing yards, and also helped himself to four passing touchdowns along the way.
The Seahawks put up 31 points, prompting some Commanders fans to leave Northwest Stadium early in the second quarter.
