Seahawks vs. Raiders live updates, inactives, where to watch: Fernando Mendoza makes first career start against reigning Super Bowl champs
The Raiders are moving forward with new starting quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
The Seattle Seahawks will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10, with the match kicking off at 4:05 p.m. ET at Allegiant Stadium. The spotlight will be on Raiders rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who will make his debut as the franchise's first career starter since Kirk Cousins' trade to the Minnesota Vikings. The reigning Super Bowl champions will be without starting quarterback Sam Darnold, who has been sidelined by a quad injury for the second time this season.
Drew Lock is set to take over the starting role, having played well thus far despite dealing with an oblique injury and elbow tendinitis in his throwing arm.
Mendoza's first career start will present a significant challenge against Seattle's defense, which ranks among the top-five in points, yards per game, yards per play, and scoring drive percentage allowed. His only action this season came in relief of Cousins in a loss to the New England Patriots, where he completed six of eight passes for 48 yards.
