TURNOVER DIFFRENTIAL: Seahawks plus-3; Washington minus-4.

SEAHAWKS PLAYER TO WATCH: CB Sidney Jones. With rookie Tre Brown out for the season following knee surgery, Jones is expected to be back in the starting lineup. Jones struggled during his opportunity as a starter earlier in the season, but coach Pete Carroll was pleased with his performance stepping in last week against Arizona. It could be quite the challenge for Seattle’s cornerbacks if both Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel are able to play.

WASHINGTON PLAYER TO WATCH: Running back Antonio Gibson fumbled in the first half at Carolina before bouncing back to rush for 95 yards. Coach Ron Rivera benched Gibson for a period of time before going back to the converted receiver, and Washington needs the fumbling problems to end because the offense’s margin for error is not big enough to handle many turnovers.

KEY MATCHUP: Washington’s Taylor Heinicke and Terry McLaurin vs. Seattle’s passing defense. Heinicke and McLaurin connected for 105 yards and a touchdown to beat Carolina and are in sync despite a lack of other passing targets. The Seahawks would be wise to double McLaurin and make anyone — DeAndre Carter, Adam Humphries or maybe even Samuel — beat them.

KEY INJURIES: Brown and RB Chris Carson (neck) are out for the season. Carson is expected to undergo neck surgery in the coming weeks. ... RT Brandon Shell left last Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury and primary backup Jamarco Jones missed the game with a back injury. If neither can play, Seattle could be left with undrafted rookie Jake Curhan at right tackle. ... Washington could get Samuel and TE Logan Thomas back from injuries. ... Rookie RT Sam Cosmi (hip) and C Tyler Larsen (knee) are likely out. Cornelius Lucas would replace Cosmi and Wes Schweitzer would fill in for Larsen, who was already pressed into duty by regular starter Chase Roullier’s injury.
