Maybe the Seahawks should play all their games in London. Or maybe they should just play all their games against the Raiders. Seattle flew to the other side of the world and buried the Raiders in the middle of the pitch. It probably wasn’t the thriller that the NFL was hoping for from their international exhibition but then again they rarely are. Instead, the British were treated to an old school American beatdown, courtesy of the Pacific Northwest.
This game didn’t take long to establish its narrative. Seattle scored a touchdown on their opening drive for the first time in one-hundred-and-thirty-four games with a drive that gave Schottenheimers everywhere a contact high.
