Sam Darnold walked into Landover and turned Sunday night into the Sam Show. The Seahawks smacked Washington 38-14 behind Sam Darnold’s 21/24, 330 yards, 4 TD, 0 INT masterpiece, dealing darts to a deep rotation. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was a problem all evening with 8 catches for 129 yards, Tory Horton cashed in two tuddies, Cody White popped the top with a 60-yard bomb, and even tight end AJ Barner snuck in a goal-line score. Washington was already shorthanded — top wideout Terry McLaurin (quad) was ruled out midweek — and Seattle showed zero mercy under the primetime lights. (nfl.com)

Momentum? Seattle seized it and never let go. After Darnold’s first-strike TD to Horton late in the first, the second quarter turned into a teal avalanche: Horton again from 25, then special teams pounced on a fumbled kickoff and six seconds later Darnold zipped a 26-yard strike to Elijah Arroyo. The exclamation point was that moonshot to White, and Jason Myers banged a 41-yarder right before half to make it 31-7. For anyone tracking the number, the total sailed past the 47.5 mark with room to spare. (bleacherreport.com)

Credit Washington for a little fight. Jayden Daniels used his legs to spark a two-minute drive and punched in a 1-yard TD before the break, then Chris Rodriguez Jr. powered in another score in the fourth as the ground game churned to 157 rushing yards. Zach Ertz and Deebo Samuel Sr. moved the sticks, but the air attack never found the explosives to keep pace with a Seattle offense that stacked 418 total yards and turned every short field into points.

Seattle’s defense brought the finishing salt: drive-killing sacks from the big fellas — hello Leonard Williams and Jarran Reed — plus a swarm of timely stops that kept Daniels in third-and-long purgatory. Add it up and the Seahawks didn’t just win; they flexed.

Big Dill of the Game: Sam Darnold — crisp, command, cannons. Four touchdowns on 24 throws is backyard-video-game stuff, and tonight the sticks belonged to Sam. This is Dillon “Big Dill” Smith with Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you next time!
