The Seattle Seahawks haven’t won consecutive games since Weeks 1 and 2, but they have another opportunity to get to two games above .500 when they face the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon. It’ll be a likely Seahawks-heavy crowd at Allegiant Stadium, albeit with the knowledge that a lot of flights for Vegas got canceled or postponed as a result of Friday’s FAA temporary flight stoppage. We’ve got the first NFL start for Heisman Trophy winner and national champion quarterback Fernando Mendoza,
who will be in tough with a bad rushing attack and a bad defense against the Super Bowl champions. Seattle still can’t take the Raiders lightly, especially with several injuries still hampering both sides of the ball. This will be another start for Drew Lock, who’s yet to lose this season when forced into action.
Seattle really needs to win this, no two ways about it. Klint Kubiak will try his best to solve Mike Macdonald’s defense, but the Seahawks should still be prevailing. If they don’t? Time to panic. There would be some sort of cruel irony to Seattle’s former OC possibly putting the dagger through the Seahawks’ season.
