Seattle heads back to Washington after routing the Commanders in prime time a season ago
The Seahawks bring a 2-0 record and the NFL's longest active winning streak into Washington, where the Commanders are trying to avoid a third straight loss.
The 2-0 Seattle Seahawks travel to face the 0-2 Washington Commanders on Sunday at 1 p.m. EDT, with Seattle favored by 7 1/2 points.
Seattle faces quarterback uncertainty after Sam Darnold's Week 1 injury, while Washington will start Marcus Mariota following Jayden Daniels' elbow dislocation against the Dallas Cowboys.
Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has recorded 100 or more yards receiving in 11 of his past 19 games, and Lock has thrown all four of his touchdown passes to Smith-Njigba this season.
Washington coach Dan Quinn aims to avoid a 0-3 start, relying on running backs Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White against Seattle's defense, which has not allowed a 100-yard rusher for 28 straight games.
Last November, Seattle defeated Washington 38-14 in Landover, Maryland, and the Seahawks now ride a 12-game winning streak, the longest in franchise history.
