Seattle Seahawks vs. Las Vegas Raiders: Live In-Game Updates
Seahawks #Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks come out of their bye week aiming to snag a win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Seattle Seahawks come out their bye week after a disappointing 21-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Munich.
A meeting Sunday at Lumen Field against the Las Vegas Raiders (3-7) – a team falling into No. 1 pick territory – might seem like an easy opportunity for the NFC West-leading Seahawks, but Vegas has talent capable of beating any opponent.
Vegas’ offense is star-studded with guys like receiver Davante Adams and running back Josh Jacobs. But for Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, he’s not taking the Raiders’ defense lightly, one that features some big names as well.
“We have to be on top of every single part of our game and make sure that we are communicating and executing to the best of our ability,” Smith said.
Smith had to name a few of the high-level defenders he’ll have to avoid in order to secure a win for the Seahawks coming out of the bye week.
“I see a really talented defense,” Smith said. “It starts up front, Maxx Crosby is one of the better defensive ends in the game. They have Chandler Jones, another monster defensive end. I’ve been playing him for what feels like my whole life. They are really stout up front.”
Live updates will appear below at kickoff.
