The Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders wrapped up their preseason schedule against one another with the Seahawks winning 23-21 in the mop-up game. (This was less than three weeks ago and I have absolutely no memory of Ryan Robinson having a 42-yard interception return for TD or Troymaine Pope.) (FYI: Pope has not even played for the New York Jets yet.)
Since then, the teams have gone in opposite directions.
While Seattle scored three times in that game with their backups against the Raiders’ backups, the Seahawks have scored just once when they managed a touchdown to Doug Baldwin with less than a minute left in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins.
