The Las Vegas Raiders had a hard time getting going on Thursday evening in their first preseason bout under head coach Pete Carroll. The Seattle Seahawks looked a bit more prepared and experienced, which they are, but the Raiders have plenty of promising pieces to build on.
After a rough first half, the team was able to fight back into the ballgame and eventually tie it up late in the fourth quarter. A quick stop gave the team a chance to win, but they were thwarted by a blocked field goal as time expired.
Fortunately, the third-team offense really showed some signs of life and gave Raider Nation a ton to feel good about as the contest wrapped up.
