In an absolute slog of a game (even by preseason standards), the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Oakland Raiders 17-13, thanks to some late-game heroics by quarterback Austin Davis, who made a strong case for himself to be Russell Wilson’s backup.
As you would expect, most of Seattle’s starters didn’t even play a snap, although the first-team offensive line featured for much of the opening quarter. Trevone Boykin did throw a touchdown to a wide open Rodney Smith, but he once again disappointed, as he tossed two terrible interceptions (one of which led to Oakland’s only touchdown) and took a needless sack as Seattle was trying to get themselves a field goal during an end-of-half two-minute drill.
