Seahawks vs Commanders weather report might actually give Washington a chance

The Seattle Seahawks face the Washington Commanders in Week 3, contending with forecasted rain and wind in Washington. Quarterback Sam Darnold is set to return for Seattle under head coach Mike Macdonald after missing parts of two games with a glute injury. The Weather Channel projects rain chances starting at 41 percent around kickoff at 1 pm local time, with precipitation increasing during the matchup.

Sustained winds between 14 and 15 mph, along with potential heavier gusts, could influence Seattle's offensive passing game. In addition to weather challenges, the Seahawks will play without starting safeties Julian Love and Ty Okada, despite holding a historical advantage of winning 19 of their last 24 morning road games.
