Jayden Daniels suffers serious left arm injury as Seahawks rout Commanders 38-14 for third straight win

The Seattle Seahawks cruised to their third straight victory with a dominant 38-14 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday night. Sam Darnold delivered a near-flawless performance as he threw for 330 yards and four touchdowns, tying a franchise record by completing his first 17 passes before finishing 21 of 24 with one interception.


Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels, returning from a hamstring injury, exited in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a broken left arm after being sacked by Drake Thomas. Daniels, who was hurt with 7 minutes, 39 seconds remaining, went 16 of 22 for 153 yards, a touchdown run, and one interception.



Several teammates knelt as medical personnel attended to Daniels on the field. Although a cart was brought out, he chose to walk to the locker room, his left, non-throwing arm secured in a black cast. It marked Daniels’ third injury of the season - and seemingly the most serious - after previously missing two games with a sprained knee and another with a hamstring issue.


Seattle dominated from the start, outgaining Washington 418-290 and leading 31-7 at halftime. Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught eight passes for 129 yards, while Tory Horton added two touchdowns.

Darnold threw scoring passes to Horton, Elijah Arroyo, and Cody White, who each found the end zone in the first half. AJ Barner added a 1-yard rushing score in the third quarter.

The Seahawks (6-2) remained unbeaten on the road at 4-0, while the struggling Commanders (3-6) dropped their fourth straight. Darnold completed 16 of 16 passes in the first half for 282 yards and four touchdowns, giving Seattle a commanding lead it never relinquished.
