Niners Nation
Jayden Daniels returns for the Washington Commanders as they host the Seattle Seahawks. It’s Sam Darnold on the road against a team that brings pressure and will play a lot of man coverage. From a matchup standpoint, you can’t ask for a better team to play if you’re Washington.
Seattle is off a bye week, but that bye didn’t come at a good time. The Seahawks’ momentum might have been interrupted during the break. Meanwhile, the Commanders are coming off a blowout loss where they didn’t look competitive.
On the flip side, Daniels gets to go against a team that will run a lot of zone. Seattle has the league’s top run defense. If Kliff Kingsbury is smart, he won’t waste his time running the ball and rely on his first-round quarterback.
This has the makings of an upset, especially if the Commanders can force Darnold into one of his Darnold-esque turnovers. Patrick Mahomes threw two last week.
The 49ers could benefit from a Commanders win. Hopefully, Jayden Daniels can do them a favor. Deebo Samuel has always done well against the Seahawks.
