First half: Seahawks 13, Raiders 0

Share

SEATTLE -- Darren McFadden was in uniform, but did not play. Same with tight end Brandon Myers and defensive tackle Tommy Kelly.

The rest of the Raiders' "healthy" starters, though, saw time in Oakland's preseason finale against Seattle, which was leading the game at halftime, 13-0, as fleeting as it was.

Carson Palmer started under center and handed the ball off six times in one series before being replaced by Matt Leinart.

Taiwan Jones started in place of McFadden, while Richard Gordon started at tight end.

The Raiders' starters on both sides of the ball lasted a series each and Kelly was replaced by rookie Christo Bilukidi, while Desmond Bryant started for Richard Seymour for the third time this preseason.

Oakland's two newest acquisitions, punt returner Roscoe Parrish and kick returner Coye Francies, had rough debuts. Parrish funneled his first punt, losing it, and muffed his second. Francies, meanwhile, fumbled his first kick return, though the Raiders recovered.

Seattle, which scored on a pair of Steven Hauschka field goals, from 25 and 29 yards, and a two-yard plunge by Vai Taua, outgained the Raiders, 202-49, as a lack of quality depth on defense reared its head.
