What is the story about?

Fernando Mendoza takes the field as a starter for the first time today. The number one overall pick making his much-anticipated first career start in what the Raiders are hoping will be the beginning of a long tenure as the franchise QB in Las Vegas.

He will make that start facing the team his head coach helped win a Super Bowl a few months ago -- the Seattle Seahawks. The Raiders trying to once again get back to .500 while the Seahawks try to stave off a return to .500. They will hope backup QB Drew Lock can do enough to allow the Seahawks' fearsome 'Dark side' defense to carry them to another win.
