• WSH: 4.9 yards per rush attempt to SEA's 4.25

  0.65 Y/C

  SEA is at 4.25 yards per rush attempt over 2 games; WSH is at 4.9 over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season SEA was at 4.17 over 17 games and WSH at 4.81 over 17 games.

PASS RUSH

• WSH: 0.5 sack yards lost per game to SEA's 14

  13.5 YDS

• WSH: 0.5 sacks taken per game to SEA's 1.5

  1 SACKS

  SEA is at 1.5 sacks taken per game over 2 games; WSH is at 0.5 over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season SEA was at 2.08 over 17 games and WSH at 2.31 over 17 games.

PACE & SCRIPT

• SEA: 8.5 points allowed per game to WSH's 30.5

  22 PPG

  Seattle has allowed far less than Washington through 2 games, and both teams are ahead of last season's defensive scoring pace. Seattle gave up 17.2 points per game last season, while Washington allowed 26.5. The early gap frames this game around whether Seattle can keep Washington from turning possessions into scoring chances.

• WSH: 67 offensive plays per game to SEA's 57.5

  9.5 PLAYS

  SEA is at 57.5 offensive plays per game over 2 games; WSH is at 67 over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season SEA was at 59.7 over 17 games and WSH at 58.2 over 17 games.

TURNOVERS

• SEA: 2 takeaways per game to WSH's 0

  2 TO

  SEA is at 2 takeaways per game over 2 games; WSH is at 0 over 2 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 26.

EXPLOSIVE PLAYS

• SEA: 5.8 yards per play to WSH's 5.1

  0.7 Y/P

  Seattle has gained more per snap through two games, though Washington actually produced more explosive plays in its last game. Seattle's 82-yard touchdown from Lock to Smith-Njigba inflates part of the early edge, while Washington got chunk plays from Mariota, Daniels and McLaurin. Seattle is below its 17-game level from last season, so this matchup pits steadier early efficiency against Washington's ability to create quick gains.

RED ZONE

• WSH: 66.7% red-zone scoring rate to SEA's 42.9%

  23.8 PP

  SEA is at 42.9% red-zone scoring rate over 2 games; WSH is at 66.7% over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season SEA was at 54.2% over 17 games and WSH at 65.2% over 17 games.

MISMATCH

• SEA: 8.5 points allowed a game to WSH's 30.5

  8.5 VS 30.5

  Seattle has allowed 8.5 points a game through 2 games, compared with 30.5 for Washington. Seattle is below its 17.2 points allowed last season, while Washington remains above its 26.5, so the gap is large but built on a short sample. Washington needs to avoid falling behind early, because Seattle's defense has given opponents very little room to chase games so far.

COVERAGE

• SEA: 3.65 yards per play allowed to WSH's 6.05

  2.4 Y/P

  Seattle has held opponents to fewer yards per play than Washington through 2 games, a broad early edge in defensive efficiency. Two games leave room for major movement, and the sheet gives no opponent or game-script context behind either result. In this matchup, use the split to judge whether either offense can keep drives efficient from snap to snap.

• SEA: 124.5 passing yards allowed per game to WSH's 224

  99.5 YPG

  Seattle has allowed less passing production than Washington through 2 games, while Washington has given up far more through the air. The sample is only 2 games and comes without opponent or game-script context, which limits how firmly the split can be trusted. In this matchup, passing volume is where the early defensive difference has the clearest relevance.

• SEA: 28.6% third downs allowed to WSH's 52%

  23.4 PP

  Seattle has allowed conversions on 28.6% of third downs, while Washington has allowed 52%. Both marks come from 2 games, so the gap describes a fast start more than a settled defensive identity. Seattle has the early edge in getting off the field, but third-down markets need room for that small sample to move.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

• SEA lead the series with WSH since 2025

  1-0 SERIES

  Seattle’s edge is built on one meeting, a 38-14 win at Washington on Nov 2. The margin makes the result clear, while the one-game sample leaves little proof of a repeatable series pattern. This game is again in Washington, so the prior setting matches. Use Seattle’s prior control as context for the matchup, then leave room for the rematch to look different.

REPLACEMENT

• Zach Charbonnet (RB) is pup-r for SEA

  PUP-R

  Charbonnet remains on the PUP list with a knee injury, and Mike Macdonald said a return to practice next week is only potentially on the table. That keeps him unavailable for Washington, so Seattle’s existing backfield workload stays in place for this game.

• Anthony Bradford (G) is on injured reserve for SEA

  IR

  Bradford is on injured reserve with a knee injury after Seattle placed him there Wednesday. He is unavailable at Washington, with no replacement guard identified on the fact sheet.

• Jordan Magee (LB) is on injured reserve for WSH

  IR

  Magee is out for Washington after the team placed him on injured reserve Wednesday with a hamstring injury. IR rules him out against Seattle, so the Commanders will need their available linebackers to absorb his defensive work.

SITUATIONAL

• SEA: 7.65 yards per pass attempt to WSH's 5.3

  2.35 Y/A

  Seattle has generated far more per pass attempt through 2 games, though it remains below its 8.01 from last season. Washington is below its 6.41 from last season. Seattle's passing game has the cleaner early profile for this matchup, but the 2-game sample leaves the gap vulnerable to a quick correction.

• SEA (2-0) at WSH (0-2)

  -46 PT GAP

  Seattle has started 2-0 and +27, while Washington is 0-2 and -19. Seattle won its only road game, and Washington has no home result listed, so the Seahawks bring both better overall form and the only venue result. The two-game sample can move quickly, but Seattle has done more early to support its momentum in this spot.

• SEA: 2 fourth-down attempts per game to WSH's 1

  1 ATT/G

  SEA is at 2 fourth-down attempts per game over 2 games; WSH is at 1 over 2 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 26. Last season SEA was at 0.71 over 17 games and WSH at 1.53 over 17 games.

AFTER GARY

• WSH +8.5 → +8.5

  GARY +1.11PP

  Gary's number was 8.5; the market closed at 8.5.
