Commanders report card: How Washington graded out in upset win over Super Bowl champs

Washington rebounded from an early-season injury setback and a difficult loss to Dallas by defeating the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks 33-31 to move to 1-2. Head coach Dan Quinn praised his squad's resolve and execution during his postgame press conference, noting the emotional difference between starting a season 0-3 and securing a victory to reach 1-2.

Quarterback Marcus Mariota stepped in to complete 19 of 31 passes for 183 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions while connecting with nine distinct receivers. Terry McLaurin paced the receiving corps with six catches for 77 yards and a score, though rookie Antonio Williams experienced a few miscues including a dropped touchdown and a penalty that nullified another.

On the ground, the team managed just 2.6 yards per carry on 32 attempts against a formidable Seattle front seven. However, the rushing attack delivered when it mattered most on the final clock-killing possession, highlighted by Rachaad picking up 19 yards on third-and-9, a key block by John Bates, and a quarterback keeper by Mariota that secured victory formation.
