Statistical breakdown: How the Commanders and Seahawks stack up ahead of Week 10 game

The Washington Commanders are back on the road in Week 10, and the competition will be much more challenging this time. The Commanders head to the Emerald City to face the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle is currently tied with the San Francisco 49ers atop the NFC West.

While Washington picked up a win in Week 9, the Seahawks were blown out by the Baltimore Ravens. There’s no doubt Seattle is looking to avenge that performance.

How do these teams stack up? Believe it or not, these teams are similar statistically. The perception is the Seahawks are much better across the board, but the numbers are much closer than you think.

Let’s look at how these teams compare to one another statistically ahead of Week 10.
