It’s “Sunday Night Football” time, and the stakes are especially high on the East Coast, where the Washington Commanders are desperate to preserve fast-fading playoff hopes in Jayden Daniels’ latest return to the field. Losers of three straight while Daniels nursed a hamstring injury, his second significant ailment of the 2025 NFL season, the Commanders now face the Seattle Seahawks, who are on a much more promising trajectory, eyeing a third straight victory as the surprise front-runners of the NFC West.
That trajectory continued early Sunday night, as Sam Darnold carved up Dan Quinn’s defense in a perfect first half, going 16-for-16 with four touchdowns to give Seattle a 31-7 halftime advantage. Daniels, who last played Oct. 19 against the rival Dallas Cowboys, scored on the ground to get Washington on the board before the break. But everything came up Seahawks to start, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba also clearing 100 yards in the first half.
Can Daniels make second-half magic and miraculously steal the Seahawks’ thunder with a home upset? Or is Seattle destined to bury Washington in the cellar of the NFC East? Stay tuned here for live updates and analysis.
