Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold had an amazing game on Sunday Night Football. He completed all 16 of his passes in the first half. Additionally, he threw four touchdown passes and led the Washington Commanders 31-7 at halftime.
Darnold hit all of his key receivers, like Tory Horton and Elijah Arroyo. This got the Seahawks’ offense going with touchdown catches on the team’s first four drives. Also, Jason Myers kicked a 41-yard field goal for Seattle to make their lead even bigger.
The star receiver was Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who caught seven passes for 119 yards. Seattle’s defense and special teams also made big plays. For instance, safety Okada’s interception and a crucial forced fumble on kickoff helped the Seahawks score twice in just 11 seconds.
The Commanders had a hard time on offense the whole half. Quarterback Jayden Daniels only completed 7 of 11 passes for 64 yards, with one touchdown rush and one interception.
Seattle had more yards (330). They converted all five of their third-down attempts. Meanwhile, Washington only had 140 yards and was 2-of-6 on third downs. In the first half, the Seahawks’ offense was very effective, averaging 12.2 yards per play.
The Seattle Seahawks and Sam Darnold look like they’re going to have a great second half. This is thanks to their strong showing of precise passing and dynamic playmaking.
