The Seahawks lost to the Commanders on Sunday, their first defeat since Week 11 of last season, and just their third road loss under Mike Macdonald. In addition to the 33-31 final score, here are 12 numbers of note about Sunday's loss to Washington.

12

The length of Seattle's franchise-record winning streak, which included 10 straight wins to close out last season, the final one, of course, being a Super Bowl LX victory.

3

Turnovers committed by Seattle's offense, resulting in 21 points for the Commanders. Seattle's defense, meanwhile, was unable to force a turnover.

128 & 2

Receiving yards and touchdowns for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, his third straight game to start this season with at least 120 receiving yards and a touchdown. Smith-Njigba joined Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice as the only two players to start a season with 120 yards and a touchdown in each of their first three games.

405 & 6

Yards and touchdowns for Smith-Njigba, both of which are league leading totals. Smith-Njigba is one of two players, along with Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison Sr., to have 400 yards and six touchdowns in the first three games of a season.

379 & 4

Passing yards and touchdowns for Sam Darnold in his return from injury. Despite two interceptions, Darnold had a strong day overall, establishing a career high in passing yards while tying his second-highest single-game touchdown total.

2

Tackles for loss for defensive tackle Leonard Williams, including one sack. Williams is now up to three sacks and five tackles for loss this season, with both of those totals leading the team. This marks the first time in his Williams' career that he has started a season with a sack in three straight games, and just the second time in his career that he has had a full sack in three consecutive games at any point of a season, having also done so in 2021.

30

The length of Washington receiver Terry McLaurin's third-quarter touchdown catch, the longest play the Seahawks defense has allowed this season. Through two games, the Seahawks had not given up a single play of 20 or more yards, but the Commanders managed two such plays, the aforementioned McLaurin touchdown and a 21-yard reception by Jaylin Lane.

2

Consecutive games the Seahawks have had an empty trip in the red zone that ended on a turnover on downs.

44

Rushing yards for the Seahawks on 18 carries, their second-lowest rushing total under Mike Macdonald, ahead of only a 32-yard effort in a 2024 loss to the Bills.

258

Total yards gained by the Commanders, who averaged 4.0 yards per play and 2.6 yards per rush attempt, underscoring the fact that, despite the final score, Seattle's defense played a pretty good game, but one that couldn't overcome the three turnovers that led to 21 Commanders point.

3 for 13

Washington's conversion rate on third down, which on the surface is a great number for Seattle's defense. Unfortunately for the Seahawks, however, two of those conversions came on third-and-9 and third-and-7 runs on the Commanders' final drive, allowing them to run out the clock.

57

Length of Jason Myers' second-quarter field goal, making him 4 for 4 on field goals this season and 9 for 9 on extra points. Myers has now made 36 field goals of 50-plus yards and 204 total field goals during his Seahawks career, adding to his own franchise records.
