COMMANDERS EARN 'A' GRADE FOR WEEK 3 WIN OVER SEAHAWKS

The Washington Commanders defeated the Seattle Seahawks in NFL Week 3, a result CBS Sports graded as an "A" performance in its weekly review of all 32 teams. NBC Sports pundits Jason Garrett, Mike Tomlin, Devin McCourty and Maria Taylor discussed the result on air, describing it as a "gutsy" display by Washington at home and a "huge win" for the team. Quarterback Marcus Mariota, who featured in the game, called the victory "unbelievable" afterwards. Washington's Quinn spoke about how the team's leaders had "stepped up" during the contest.

Commanders coverage suggested the team may continue with Mariota following the win, though no formal confirmation of a change in starting quarterback was given. The result formed part of a broader set of Week 3 talking points, including a two-point conversion catch by Waddle and a series of defensive errors that cost the Dallas Cowboys in Rio. CBS Sports' grading exercise covered every team's performance from the round, ranking outcomes from best to worst. The Commanders' win over Seattle stood out within that assessment as one of the highest-graded results of the week.

At the other end of CBS Sports' grades, the New England Patriots received an "F" for their Week 3 showing. Commentary accompanying the grades stated that "something is broken" in the Patriots' offence. Patriots player Maye said, "I gotta look myself in the mirror," after the team's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, having reportedly shown "frustration" and "impatience" during that game. No further outcomes or next steps for either team were confirmed in the reporting.
