Seahawks vs. Raiders - Game Preview




SEAHAWKS vs. RAIDERS GAME AT A GLANCE
The Seattle Seahawks (4-3) host another former AFC West foe this week when the Oakland Raiders (2-5) visit Qwest Field for a Monday night showdown. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN and locally on KSTW, with kickoff set for 5:30 p.m. PT.

This will be the first of three primetime contests in the Seahawks final five regular season home dates. Seattle will host Green Bay on Monday night, November 27, and the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, December 14 on the NFL Network.

Seattle has put together a 13-8 record all-time on Monday Night Football, including a 42-0 shutout last season at Philadelphia on December 5, the team's only Monday night appearance in 2005.

The Seahawks return home this week looking to curtail consecutive losses to the Minnesota Vikings and Kansas Chiefs, while the Raiders have put together consecutive wins over the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers.

This will be the 50th regular season meeting between the former AFC West rivals, with the Raiders leading the series 27- 22. Seattle leads 13-10 in games played in Seattle (11-10 at the Kingdome and 2-0 at Husky Stadium), and have won the last three games played in the Emerald City. In fact, the home team has won each of the last eight games played dating back to the 1998 season.

The Seahawks and Raiders have squared off twice in the postseason, splitting each of those games. In Seattle’s only AFC Championship game appearance, the Raiders came out on top 30-14 at Memorial Coliseum in the 1983 season. The following year, Seattle ousted the Raiders from the postseason with a 13- 7 Wild Card win in the Kingdome.

This will also be the sixth time the Seahawks have faced the Raiders on Monday Night Football, more than any other team, and Seattle is 3-2 in those games. It will also be the 14th time overall the Seahawks and Raiders have matched up in prime time (including Sunday night games), with Seattle leading 7-6 in those games.

NFL Preview: Oakland at Seattle

NFL.com wire reports

SEATTLE (Nov. 1, 2006) -- Strong defensive play has helped the Oakland Raiders to unexpected back-to-back victories. The offense wants a chance to keep the turnaround going.

The surging Raiders will look to win three in a row for the first time since the season of their last Super Bowl appearance when they travel to Qwest Field for a Monday night matchup against the sputtering Seattle Seahawks.

Oakland (2-5) hasn't posted three consecutive victories since a five-game run from Nov. 11-Dec. 8, 2002, en route to an AFC West title and the Super Bowl. Injury-riddled Seattle -- a former Raiders AFC West rival -- is trying to avoid losing three in a row for the first time since Oct. 10-24, 2004.

The home team has won the past eight meetings between these teams.

On Oct. 22, the Raiders snapped an 11-game losing streak with a 22-9 victory against Arizona. Oakland then got two interception returns for touchdowns Oct. 29 to defeat defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh 20-13.

Chris Carr returned a Ben Roethlisberger pass 100 yards for one touchdown and Nnamdi Asomugha added a 25-yard interception return for another score. The Steelers drove to the Oakland 3-yard line with less than 3 minutes to play, but linebacker Kirk Morrison broke up a fourth-down pass intended for Santonio Holmes.

"It looked pretty grim out there for a little bit when they were driving and only a touchdown down," Raiders safety Stuart Schweigert said. "But that's when we picked it up and played our best."

The Raiders have the NFL's worst-ranked offense, which has failed to score a touchdown in four of seven games and managed only 98 total net yards against the Steelers -- their second-fewest in a game since the 1970 merger.

"It feels like we're just beating our head against the wall a little bit," said quarterback Andrew Walter, who passed for only 51 yards. "We've played seven games and I think we've had one decent outing in terms of the pass game. And that's really the thing that's affecting us as a team most right now."

Since taking over for the injured Aaron Brooks, Walter has completed 47.3 percent of his passes, and tallied nine interceptions against three touchdowns while being sacked 28 times.

Coach Art Shell, though, said he has seen positive signs from the second-year pro out of Arizona State.

"When he's given an opportunity to take a look and throw the ball down the field and do those things, he can be very effective," Shell said. "We have to do a much better job of pass protecting, but I think he's coming along very well."

Oakland will try to avoid an unprecedented fifth consecutive Monday night loss. The Raiders lost 27-0 to San Diego on Sept. 11 and have been outscored 116-27 during their four-game slide on Mondays.

Reigning league MVP Shaun Alexander and Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck helped Seattle (4-3) reach the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history last season.


Seneca Wallace proved to be a capabale replacement in his first start.
Injuries to those two ultimately could keep the Seahawks from returning to the postseason in 2006.

Alexander, the league's leading rusher with 1,880 yards last season, his missed the past four games with a cracked bone in his foot. Though he has been pain-free for more than a week, Alexander is expected to miss this contest after X-rays showed his foot hasn't healed completely.

"If the pictures show the doctor what he wants to see, he will play," coach Mike Holmgren said. "If they don't, he won't. It's that simple."

Holmgren added that Alexander could miss a Nov. 12 game against NFC West co-leader St. Louis.

"It's conceivable the same thing, the same deal, will happen next week," the coach said. "I hope not. I hope he'll be back."

The Seahawks are 1-3 with Alexander our of the lineup. In a 35-28 loss to Kansas City last Sunday, Maurice Morris ran for a season-low 47 yards against a defense that had allowed 124 rushing yards per game coming in.

"It was a tough ball game. We battled our hearts out and came up a little short," Holmgren said.

Oakland's rushing defense is ninth-worst in the NFL, giving up 129.3 yards per game.

With Hasselbeck expected to miss two more weeks after spraining a knee ligament during a 31-13 loss to Minnesota on Oct. 22, Seneca Wallace will try to build off a good effort in his first career start.

The Iowa State product was 15-for-30 for 198 yards with three touchdowns, including a 49-yarder to Darrell Jackson, but also was intercepted twice.

"Once I relaxed and calmed down, it was just like another game for me," said Wallace, whom the Seahawks selected in the fourth round of the 2003 draft. "It has been a while since I've played a full game."

Holmgren said Hasselbeck is off crutches and remains on track to return Nov. 19 at San Francisco.
