The Seahawks' dominant Sunday night victory over the Washington Commanders was the perfect example, as Darnold posted arguably the best game of his eight-year career. Darnold completed his first 16 pass attempts and tossed four touchdowns in the first half alone, finishing 21 of 24 for 330 yards.

The first touchdown of the game was a four-yard reception by rookie Tory Horton.
