- Seattle struggled with their running game and red zone efficiency, failing to capitalize on goal-to-go situations and giving Washington favorable field position multiple times due to turnovers and penalties.
- Key injuries included hamstring concerns for Nick Emmanwori and limited availability for Rashid Shaheed, who left the game twice after a kick return injury.
