Seattle Seahawks vs Washington Commanders Game Highlights | 2025 NFL Season Week 9

Seattle Seahawks vs Washington Commanders Game Highlights | 2025 NFL Season Week 9

IT IS A DEFENSE THAT BELIEVES IN
GIVING YOU NOTHING. THEY DON’T WANT ANY FREE PASSES,
ANY FREE LOOKS, AND LET THEIR PASS RUSH GO TO WORK.
>> Mike: JEREMY McNICHOLS IS THE BACK, IN ON THIRD AND 4 AGAINST
THAT SEATTLE D. >> CRIS TOLD YOU A LOT OF THE
CHANGES BACK THERE. JULIAN LOVE IS OUT ON RESERVE
WITH A HAMSTRING INJURY. NEED TO GET IT JUST PAST
MIDFIELD. WITH THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS.
A NICE PUNT BY TRESS WAY BACKED SEATTLE UP.
SEAHAWKS START AT THEIR OWN 10. KENNETH WALKER IS THE BACK, THE
FORMER MICHIGAN STATE SPARTAN TO FOURTH TEAM IN FOUR YEARS.
IT WAS A ROUGH FINISH THE LAST REGULAR SEASON GAME AND IN THE
PLAYOFF GAME IN MINNESOTA. BUT THE FIRST 16 GAMES,
OUTSTANDING. BIG REASON WHY THERE’S A LOT OF
COMFORT FOR MIKE MACDONALD AND SURVEYING THE FIELD.
IT WAS MAN COVERAGE. HE GOT THE PICK, WHATEVER HE
WANTED TO PICK ON THAT ONE. FOR A TEAM THAT’S THIN AT WIDE
RECEIVER, SEEING TORY HORTON MAKE THAT FIRST CATCH, THAT’S
BIG. >> Mike: BOTH TEAMS THIN AT
RECEIVER TONIGHT. KLINT KUBIAK, THE 38-YEAR-OLD,
IN HIS FIRST YEAR AS SEATTLE’S OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR.
SWITCH UP THE BACK, ZACH >> Mike: IT WAS FIRST AND 25.
NOW IT’S THIRD AND 3. BOBBY WAGNER LOOKS OVER, SEES
THE SEATTLE UNIFORMS. USED TO WEAR THOSE.
>> Cris: 1-1-1 MATCHUP. HE DIDN’T GET IT.
>> DARNOLD COMES BACK INSIDE, THAT WAS CHOICE NUMBER THREE.
YOU CAN SEE IT EASILY. HIS FEET WILL MIRROR EACH OF
THOSE CHOICES. >> Mike: WASHINGTON FANS WANT A
CHALLENGE. IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS A THIRD
STEP THERE. THERE’S NO CHALLENGE FROM THE
COMMANDERS. AND THERE IS A RUN BY KENNETH
WALKER ON THE EDGE. PUSH WORLD.
IT’S THIRD AND 5. WASHINGTON BRINGING PRESSURE.
DARNOLD RID OF IT QUICK, IN THE JUST THE PITCH AND CATCH.
GOOD READ BY DARNOLD. >> Mike: NICE OPENING DRIVE FOR
SEATTLE. EVEN WITH A 15-YARD PENALTY,
THIS IS PLAY 11. THE OUTSIDE, BUT TREMENDOUS
PRESSURE ON MARSHON LATTIMORE AND TREY AMOS AND MIKEY —
>> THEY’VE BEEN DECIMATED AT THE WIDE RECEIVER AND DEFENSIVE
FRONT IN TERMS OF INJURIES. FIRST AND GOAL SEATTLE FROM THE
3. ANOTHER GUARD OUT THERE.
HE IS THE GUY THAT DIGS OUT THOSE SAFETIES IN SOME OF THOSE
GOAL LINE AND SHORT LINE RUNS. SO, NOT ONLY MISSED IN THE
PASSING GAME BUT IN THAT RUN BLOCKING GAME AS WELL.
>> Mike: A DRIVE THAT HAS TAKEN HALF THE QUARTER.
AND DARNOLD ROLLING, THROWING, >> Mike: AND THE SEAHAWKS PAY
OFF A LONG DRIVE WITH A TD FOR THE ROOKIE.
>> Cris: TORY HORTON, WHAT A DRIVE FOR HIM.
COME RIGHT OUT AND COOPER KUPP — THIS IS A VERY COOPER
KUPP-LIKE ROUTE ON THE OUTSIDE. YOU SAW TORY HORTON GO IN AND
WORK HARD AGAINST THAT OUTSIDE REFERS TO HIM.
>> Cris: WE APPRECIATE. BILL IS EASIER TO REMEMBER.
WE GOT A T-SHIRT WITH BILL WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.
>> Mike: OH, NICE. I GOT NOTHING.
FAKE IT TO HIM, DANIELS GOING TO SEASON, JUST AVERAGING ABOUT
THREE YARDS A CARRY. AND THAT’S A LITTLE BIT OF THE
STORY OF THIS OFFENSE, TOO. >> Mike: FINAL MINUTE OF THIS
OPENING QUARTER. RIGHT BACK TO THEM, OPPOSITE
SIDE. YOU SEE THE SUCCESS THEY HAD IN
THESE SPOTS LAST YEAR, AND IT’S BEEN THE REVERSE THIS YEAR.
AND THEY’RE COMING OUT TO GO FOR IT.
WITH CROSKEY-MERRITT AS THE BACK.
AND A FAKE THERE. JAYDEN DANIELS CAN, YOU CAN’T
PLAY DEFENSE THE SAME WAY. YOU CAN’T CONGREGATE ALL YOUR
DEFENSE INSIDE AND STOP THE TUSH PUSH AND ALL THAT BECAUSE YOU
HAVE TO PLAY HIM. >> Mike: MISSED A COUPLE OF
THOSE FOURTH DOWN OPPORTUNITIES >> Mike: PROTECTING HIS GUY,
THAT’S FOR SURE. HE’S POPPED IN THE LINEUP.
IT’S THE THIRD 15-YARD PENALTY ON THE OFFENSE IN THE FIRST 17
MINUTES OF THIS ONE. IT WAS DEVON WITHERSPOON WITH
THE CORNER PRESSURE AND TY OKADA ABLE TO GO UP, GET IT, GET DOWN
IN BOUNDS. AND HE HAS BEEN CELEBRATING ON
THE SIDELINE EVER SINCE, PERFECTLY DONE AND DESERVEDLY
SO. >> AND THAT TOE JUST DOWN.
JARED REED, BACKUP DB WAS THERE PLAY AND YOU COME BACK WITH A
STOP. HERE’S YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR
WASHINGTON. >> Mike: SECOND AND 10, TO THE
LEFT SIDE, SMITH-NJIGBA, CATCH OWN POWER.
TRAINING STAFF LOOKING AT HIM. DARNELL SAVAGE, HIS REPLACEMENT.
AND THE SEAHAWKS ARE ON A ROLL, 16 PLAYS, NINE FIRST DOWNS. THEY’RE NO LONGER UNDER CENTER,
NO LONGER THE THREAT OF THE RUN. >> Mike: QUAN MARTIN INQUIRED A
COUPLE OF PLAYS AGO, BACK IN. IT’S THIRD AND 8.
WASHINGTON RUSHING FIVE, DARNOLD TAKING A SHOT DOWN FIELD.
OPEN AGAIN IS HORTON FOR A TOUCHDOWN!
THE ROOKIE HAS TWO IN THE FIRST TWO QUARTERS!
>> Cris: WOW! NUMBER 2 IS NOW A TREND.
TORY HORTON, WHAT A RELEASE AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE HE HAD
AGAINST MIKE SAINRISTIL. WATCH THIS.
THIS IS GAME SET AND MATCH RIGHT NOW.
IT IS OVER. THERE IS NO CHANCE THAT THEY’RE
STOPPING THAT PLAY AND SEVEN GAMES, 20 OR FEWER POINTS
IN SIX OF THE SEVEN. NO BACK HAS GOTTEN GOING.
100 YARDS, 16 GAMES IN A ROW. WE HAVE NOT SEEN A 100-YARD
RUSHER AGAINST THIS SEATTLE DEFENSE.
WASHINGTON TRYING TO GET AND MIKE MACDONALD LOVES IT.
WE ARE SEEING MORE BIG GUYS, DEFENSIVE LINEMEN, PLAY AS PART
OF THE SHORT AREA COVERAGE ON KICKS.
AND PILI COMES UP WITH THE BIG ONE, RECOVERED FROM O’TOOLE.
SO, FROM THE 26, SEATTLE RIGHT BACK AT IT.
DARNOLD NINE OF NINE ON THE NIGHT, TAKES ANOTHER SHOT, AND
IT’S CAUGHT BY ARROYO FOR THE TOUCHDOWN!
THE ROOKIE OUT OF MIAMI. WOW!
>> Cris: YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW SEATTLE IS DOING THIS?
THEY ARE FORCING TEAMS INTO PLAYING PURE BUMP AND RUN
MAN-TO-MAN COVERAGE TO STOP THE RUN.
YOU CAN’T STOP THE RUN, YOU GET THE QUICK RELEASES, AND YOU GET
THE TOUCHDOWNS. YOU THINK THAT ONE WAS GOOD,
THIS WAS HIS SECOND CHOICE. AND WOW, THEY HAVE MADE A
STATEMENT HERE TONIGHT. THIRD AND 5, WASHINGTON IN
DESPERATE NEED OF ONE HERE. ARE A FIT AS WELL FOR SAM.
>> Cris: MAYBE HE’S JUST A GOOD PLAYER.
>> Mike: THAT COULD BE TRUE. >> Cris: YEAH.
>> Mike: THAT COULD BE TRUE. WE SAW DURING HIS COLLEGE DAYS
AT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. NUMBER THREE OVERALL PICK.
FROM THE 13, FIRST DOWN. YOU GET CUT A FEW TIMES AND ALL
OF A SUDDEN YOU WANT THINGS DONE YOUR EXACT WAY.
AND HE’S TAKEN OVER THAT LEADERSHIP POSITION WITH HIS
PHYSICAL SKILLS. NOW WE HAVE SOMETHING.
>> Mike: NO GAIN LEAVES IT THIRD AND 5.
WASHINGTON NEEDS A PLAY. >> Cris: DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT
IS TO HAVE THESE MONSTERS CHASING YOU AROUND INSIDE THE
POCKET AND KEEP YOUR EYES DOWN THE FIELD AND TRY AND MAKE A
PLAY? HE REALLY HAS SO MUCH CONFIDENCE
GOING IN HIS GAME RIGHT NOW. >> Mike: PLAY ACTION HERE ON
FIRST DOWN, 13 OF 13. THEY JUMPED THE BALL, DIDN’T
HUDDLE, AND CODY WHITE CALLED IT FROM THE PRACTICE SQUAD, VETERAN
WHO’S BEEN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PLACES, WITH A 60-YARD SCORE.
>> Cris: PLAY FAKE, CORNER REACTS UP, AND YOU GO FOR A
TOUCHDOWN. THAT’S ALL IT IS.
UNDER CENTER, THEY CAN’T STOP THE RUN, SO THEY ALL START
JUMPING INTO THE RUN GAME. AND THEN YOU GET BEHIND THEM AND
YOU CAN SEE TREY AMOS LOOKS LIKE HE WAS HURT ON THAT PLAY AS
WELL. HE WRESTLED ABOUT 118.
HE MAY BE READY TO WRESTLE SOMEBODY RIGHT NOW.
WOW. WHAT A PERFORMANCE SO FAR BY
SEATTLE. >> Mike: JAYDEN DANIELS AND
WASHINGTON LOOKING FOR ANYTHING HERE.
FROM THE 31, DANIELS TAKING OFF, GIVES YOU A DOUBLE TEAM THERE.
FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO LOVE OFFENSIVE LINE PLAY, I AM
PUTTING ON A CLINIC HERE TONIGHT.
>> Mike: HANG ON WHILE YOU PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK.
HERE’S DEEBO INSIDE FOR A FIRST ARE REALLY GOING TO CARRY SOME
WEIGHT, DETERMINE PLAYOFFS, SEEDING AND ALL THAT STUFF.
WEATHER GETS COLD. TIME TO START TURNING OUR
ATTENTION. WASHINGTON JUST TRYING TO GET
THEMSELVES SOME POSITIVE MOMENTUM.
FAKE TO DEEBO SAMUEL IN THE THERE, STOP THE PLAY, AND FORCE
A THROW AWAY. HE WAS PLAYING SO WELL THEY JUST
COULDN’T TAKE HIM OUT OF THE LINEUP.
>> Mike: IT BRINGS UP THIRD AND 5.
FIVE IN THE PATTERN FOR DANIELS, AND ALL OF THAT, BUT HE IS AT
HIS CORE, A POCKET PASSER. HE WANTS TO THROW IT FROM THE
POCKET. BUT HE’S SO MAGICAL WHEN HE GETS
OUT. >> Mike: PLAY CLOCK RUNNING
DOWN, FIRST AND GOAL FROM THE 1. OFF IN TIME.
DANIELS LEFT TO THE END ZONE, OFF IN TIME.
DANIELS LEFT TO THE END ZONE, TOUCHDOWN, WASHINGTON.
TEN PLAYS, 69 YARDS. >> Cris: THE OFFENSE JUST
EXPANDS SO MUCH WHEN HE’S IN THE GAME.
THAT WAS NO PART OF A PASS AT GOING.
BUT WHY NOT SAM DARNOLD IN THE MVP CONVERSATION?
THAT DIDN’T HURT THOSE NUMBERS. 68.
RIGHT BEFORE THE BREAK AGAINST VEGAS.
AND THAT JACKSONVILLE ONE-POINT THE 11th-YEAR KICKER, MYERS.
TRIED TO ADD A 41-YARDER TO END A FIVE-POSSESSION, FIVE-SCORE
HALF FOR SEATTLE. LAST TIME OUT, RIGHT?
COUPLE OF SACKS IN THAT GAME. >> Mike: AGAINST KANSAS CITY.
A GUY WHO WAS A SEATTLE SIXTH ROUND PICK BACK IN 2018.
A LOT OF VETERANS ON THIS WASHINGTON TEAM.
GUYS, THEY’RE EIGHTH, NINTH, GET OFF OF IT ONCE YOU SEE IT
AND COME STRAIGHT TO THE BACK SIDE.
I THINK THAT’S WHAT YOU SAW BASED ON THE DEFENSE THAT TIME.
>> Mike: THIRD AND 1 AND A THROW THE HALF ENDED, WE SAW
LINEBACKER ERNEST JONES, THE LEADER OF THE DEFENSE, GET
INJURED. HE HAS BEEN RULED OUT WITH A
KNEE INJURY. HE WENT INTO THE MEDICAL TENT.
THEN WHEN HE CAME OUT, HE WAS SHOWING A TON OF FRUSTRATION AND
DISAPPOINTMENT. HE SAT ON THE BENCH WITH A TOWEL
ON HIS FACE, BUT HE’S OUT FOR INJURIES, ALL YOUR WIDE
RECEIVERS HURT. THAT’S PART OF WHAT HAPPENS IN
THIS LEAGUE. ASK THAT GUY.
>> Cris: I JUST THINK WE ALSO GOT TO SEE — THEY WON SO MANY
CLOSE GAMES LAST YEAR, RIGHT? WITH HIM OUT OF THE LINEUP,
THEY’RE NOT WINNING THOSE CLOSE DEFENSE, IT IS THE GUY WHO’S
WILLING TO DO THE DIRTY WORK THAT ENDS UP GETTING REWARDED.
>> Mike: MADE THE PRO BOWL LAST YEAR.
SEVEN YEARS BETWEEN PRO BOWLS FOR THE MAN WHO WAS THE JETS’
SIXTH PICK BACK IN 2015. COLLEGE, WE DIDN’T ALWAYS SEE
HIM PLAYING OUTSIDE. HE WAS A SLOT GUY.
BUT THEN WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS CAREER.
SAME THING WITH J.S.N. RIGHT NOW.
>> Mike: NO MARSHON LATTIMORE RELOADED, AND SAINRISTIL COMES
UP WITH HIS THIRD PICK OF THE YEAR AND HIS FIFTH IN HIS FIRST
TWO YEARS, OUT OF MICHIGAN. >> Cris: WELL, THE FIRST UGLY
PLAY BY SAM DARNOLD, AND THE PROTECTION, ONCE AGAIN, WAS
ALMOST PERFECT. DARNOLD HAD TIME TO GO THROUGH
HIS PROGRESSIONS. INSTEAD HE ENDED UP TRYING TO
SCRAMBLE, THEN THROW BACK ACROSS SAFETIES.
SO, IT’S GOING TO EITHER HAVE TO BE JAYDEN DANIELS RUNNING OR
SHORTER, QUICKER THROWS IN ORDER TO GET BACK IN IT.
>> Mike: RUSHING FOUR HERE ON SECOND AND 7.
DANIELS GETS OUT OF ONE HIT, KEEPS GOING, AND WILL GET
STOPPED A COUPLE YARDS SHY OF GOING TO DO IT ON OCCASION.
I’LL TELL YOU, ZACH ERTZ, THOUGH, OTHER THAN TRAVIS KELCE,
HE IS, AS FAR AS TIGHT ENDS PLAYING, HE’S ONE OF THE TOP OF
THE LIST GUYS. >> Cris: AND I’M LIKE, OKAY, I
CAN WATCH A FOURTH AND 15 INSTEAD OF AN ON-SIDE KICK.
LET’S DO IT. >> Mike: ALTHOUGH WE DID SEE AN
ON-SIDE KICK TODAY. >> Cris: FAT LOT OF GOOD IT DID.
>> Mike: THAT WAS THE BENGALS GAME.
HERE’S THE PRESSURE. DANIELS SPINNING, GOT AWAY,
TAKING OFF. HE’LL GAIN ABOUT SIX.
SEATTLE SCORED 24 IN THE SECOND QUARTER, THREE TOUCHDOWNS, AND A
4: 18 STRETCH TO BLOW THIS CAME OPEN.
SAM DARNOLD OPENED UP 17 FOR 17. 18 OF 20 ON THE NIGHT RIGHT NOW.
NOBODY OPEN DOWN FIELD, PITCHED TO CHARBONNET.
THERE’S A FLAG DOWN, AS THE RESULT OF THE PLAY, FOURTH
DOWN — EXCUSE ME, FIRST DOWN. >> Mike: SAINRISTIL JUST HAD THE
INTERCEPTION AT THE END OF THE LAST DRIVE.
>> Cris: AT LEAST HE’S OUT THERE FIGHTING, RIGHT?
LET’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS. THERE YOU GO.
BUT A DIVING PITCHING. LINEBACKER, WHICH THEN FORCES
YOU INTO MAN COVERAGE ON THE BACK END.
AND THEY’RE FLASHING LIKE THEY’RE GOING TO PLAY MAN.
BUT THE SECONDARY — WELL, MAYBE THEY ARE.
>> Mike: THIRD AND 5, DARNOLD DARNOLD RECOGNIZING THAT COMING
RIGHT BACK TO HIS MAN LOOK WITH HIS MAIN MAN. >> Mike: OVER 100 FOR THE SIXTH
TIME, TYING A SEATTLE RECORD. AT LEFT GUARD.
JALEN SUNDELL, HIS FORMER TEAMMATE AT NORTH DAKOTA STATE.
BUT ANTHONY BRADFORD’S HAD A BETTER NIGHT TONIGHT AT THE
RIGHT GUARD POSITION. AND HE WAS THE ONE ON, SORT OF,
A PROVE-IT KIND OF A MOMENT HERE.
>> Mike: AND BARNER TAKES IT IN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.
SO, AJ BARNER GOES IN TO TAKE MICHIGAN, INDIANA BEFORE THAT,
GETS THAT RUSHING TOUCHDOWN. MYERS ADDS THE EXTRA POINT.
ALL SEATTLE. HAS BEEN.
>> Cris: PART OF THE SCARY STUFF AS WELL FOR THE COMMANDERS IS
THIS IS THE OLDEST TEAM IN THE NFL.
>> Mike: YES IT IS BY ABOUT .9 OF A YEAR, WHICH IS A PRETTY BIG
YEAR WHEN YOU’RE DOING THOSE PLAYER.
AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT TREYLON BURKS IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO
BLOCK THAT. >> Mike: AND CRIS, YOU STARTED
TO TALK ABOUT IT BEFORE WITH EMMANWORI, WHEN YOU START TO PUT
ALL THE NUMBERS IN THE COMBINE >> Cris: YEAH.
AND HE BASICALLY CAN PLAY ANY POSITION.
WHEN YOU GET SOMEBODY LIKE THAT, HE CAN PLAY IN THE SLOT.
HE CAN PLAY MAN COVERAGE ON THE TIGHT END.
HE CAN BLITZ. GET-OPEN GUYS IN THE LEAGUE.
HE STUDIES THE ROUTE BEFORE HE GETS TO THE DEFENDER.
WIGGLES INSIDE TO BREAK OUTSIDE, OUTSIDE TO BREAK INSIDE.
AND J.S.N. IS VERY OPEN ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE’S LEARNED A LOT
SINCE COOPER KUPP’S COME OVER. EXPLAINING WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER
HE WOULD TRY HARD TO MAKE A PLAY, TO LIVE UP TO HIS FIRST
ROUND STATUS, THAT HE ENDED UP PLAYING SELFISHLY.
HE ALSO SAID, YEP, HE’S HAVING FUN TONIGHT.
HE ALSO SAID HE HAS GROWN MAN STRENGTH THAT HE’S DEVELOPED
OVER THE YEARS. PLAYER THAT GOT BENCHED BECAUSE
THEY HAD TOO MANY CORNERS. JOSH JOBE WAS ONE OF THE
STARTERS TONIGHT, DEVON WITHERSPOON.
YOU SEE WHAT EMMANWORI HAS BEEN ABOUT TONIGHT.
THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE LOVE OUT I WAS LIKE, HOW DID YOU GO FROM
PITCHING A PERFECT GAME ALMOST DEFENSIVELY AGAINST THE TEXANS
TO WHAT I WATCHED AGAINST TAMPA? AND HE WAS EMBARRASSED.
LIKE, HE WAS STILL EMBARRASSED DEEBO SAMUEL, ZACH ERTZ, DAN
QUINN, THE COACH. YOU KNOW, IT’S LIKE 7:30 LEFT.
YOU’RE TRYING TO GO DOWN THE FIELD IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, GET
A DRIVE, BUILD SOME MOMENTUM. 49ers GETTING A WIN, AS THEY
CAME EAST, NFC WEST OVER NFC EAST, BEATING THE GIANTS THIS
AFTERNOON. GAME AT THE RAMS COMING UP AFTER
A GAME AGAINST ARIZONA NEXT MAJOR MOMENTS AND EXCITING GAMES
BUT WAS HEADLINED BY THIS. MIKE MACDONALD THINKING WHAT WE
ALL ARE THINKING, THINKING ABOUT JAYDEN DANIELS.
I’M SORRY ABOUT SEEING THAT HAPPEN.
M SAM DARNOLD AND MARCUS MARIOTA EXCHANGE GREETINGS AS WELL.
