The Oakland Raiders are traveling to London for a Sunday matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Here are five realistic expectations.
The Oakland Raiders left a bad taste in the mouths of the players and fans after last week’s lost to their AFC West rival, but the Silver and Black have an opportunity to put that behind them when they play “host” to the 2-3 Seattle Seahawks at Wembley Stadium in London. The Seahawks are coming off a divisional loss of their own in a high scoring affair last Sunday.
What has plagued Oakland as they sit at a 1-4 record to start the season is the inconsistency of contributions from all facets of the team. The offense may click on all cylinders only for the defense to give up big plays that end up being costly. And vice versa the defense may be able to contain the opposing offense throughout the game, only for the Raiders offense to remains stagnant and incapable of putting points on the board.
Oakland does not need to have a perfect game on Sunday, but they do need solid contributions all around in order to come away with the victory and head into their bye week with positive momentum.
Here are five realistic expectations for the Raiders in Week 6.
