Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold was nominated for the FedEx Air Player of the Week, for the second time this season, for his performance in Week 9 vs. the Washington Commanders. Darnold went 21-of-24, had 330 passing yards, threw for four touchdowns, and finished with a 141.0 passer rating.

He also tied a Seahawks franchise record of 17 consecutive completions, a record set by Warren Moon.

After the game, head coach Mike Macdonald said, "Believe me when I say, I'm not surprised. We watched Sam every day on how he operates, and he's the same guy every day, which is what you love about him. And we're chasing it. The guys are determined, and it's fun to watch. And when the team comes together, that's this type of stuff that you can do when you play the right way, you prepare the right way. And our coaches deserve a lot of credit too, man. I thought [Offensive Coordinator] Klint [Kubiak] called a great game. All the coaches involved in the game plan process, I thought we had some great answers, and it all came together."
