The Las Vegas Raiders prepare for a road matchup with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12. Here are the key matchups to watch in Sunday’s contest.

The Las Vegas Raiders are coming off what is arguably their best win of the season last week in Denver. After being at the expense of so many one-score losses, the Silver and Black finally saw one go their way as they swept the Broncos for the third-straight season.

Big performances helped Las Vegas get its third win of the season, and they will need their leaders to step up once more this week.

The surprising 6-4 Seahawks await the Raiders this week in a matchup set at Lumen Field, which always presents a tough place to play on the road. Led by the rejuvenated play of Geno Smith alongside a talented young roster on offense, Las Vegas cannot afford to overlook Seattle this week. But notching back-to-back wins can be the type of spark needed to build some positive team attributes to close out this season.

If Las Vegas hopes to fend off Seattle this week, they will need to win their respective matchups on the field. Here are the key matchups to watch between the Raiders and the Seahawks.
