Washington pulled off Week 3's biggest upset, beating reigning champion Seattle 33-31 despite Jayden Daniels being out and Sam Darnold returning for the Seahawks.
Marcus Mariota made his first start of the season count, throwing three touchdowns to nine different receivers and sealing the win with a crucial third-down scramble.
Washington's defense swung the game by holding Seattle to 44 rushing yards and forcing three turnovers, including Kain Medrano's late fourth-quarter pick-six.
The result put the 0-2 Commanders in the week's winner circle, while Seattle's loss joined a Sunday slate that also featured five underdog wins.
