Las Vegas Raiders vs Seattle Seahawks 2022 Week 12: Studs and Duds

Andrew Billings – Stud

It’s been a while since we have had an impact play from an interior, defensive lineman, but Andrew Billings delivered on a couple occasions on Sunday. Billings finished the day with four tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, and two QB hits on Geno Smith.

Billings was unable to finish the game as he came off injured, but we hope this isn’t serious as he is becoming a key player for Las Vegas. While on the field he was a huge factor in limiting the Seattle rushing attack and star running back Kenneth Walker to just 65 yards on the ground.

The sack by Billings was just the 5th by any raider not named Maxx Crosby and it shows how often the other defenders have failed to deliver in that regard. It was also the only full sack credited to a defensive tackle this season and just the 4th in his five-year career. Whatever Billings did to get up for this game we will need to see more of the rest of this season.
