The revamped Seahawks are gearing up for their preseason opener this week, squaring off against the Raiders in what promises to be an early look at two teams trying to hit the reset button.
History leans silver and black in this matchup, with the Raiders holding a 30-26 all-time edge. The last time these two locked horns was back in 2020—a high-scoring shootout that ended with Vegas stealing a 40-34 win in overtime.
Under center, Sam Darnold has the QB1 job sewn up, but the battle behind him is just heating up. Drew Lock is back in the mix, aiming to breathe new life into his career. After logging five starts for the Giants last season and posting a modest 6-to-5 touchdown-to-pick ratio, the 28-year-old is hoping to turn over a new leaf.
Nipping at his heels is rookie Jalen Milroe, the Alabama product taken in the third round of this year’s draft. Known for his wheels, the 22-year-old rushed for 20 touchdowns in college and brings a different flavor to the quarterback room—one that could shake things up if he flashes early.
Meanwhile, the game will mark Pete Carroll's debut on the Raiders' sideline as he begins his second NFL head coaching stint in a whole new zip code. After years of being stuck in the mud, Las Vegas is banking on Carroll to breathe life into the franchise, and he's wasting no time getting down to business.
Expect to see Carroll open up the playbook from the jump, using this game as a test run for his new-look roster. Running back Raheem Mostert and rookie wideout Donte Thornton Jr. are both expected to get some early touches as they knock the rust off and give the coaching staff a taste of what's to come.
