Seattle Seahawks Dud and Stud of Game 11 vs. Las Vegas
Second Dishonorable Mention: Kenneth Walker III
Walker had an off day as he finished with 14 carries for 26 yards and two TDs. He also had only one catch for 13 yards. This lackluster performance is why he is the second dishonorable mention this week.
First Dishonorable Mention: Referees
The first dishonorable mention of the week goes to the referees, who made a few calls that changed the face of this game.
First, on a play late in the fourth quarter, it appeared as if Josh Jacobs fumbled the ball; his knee never touched the ground, and he lost control of the ball before hitting the ground. However, the referees decided that his forward progress was stopped and that the Raiders maintain possession.
The second questionable call came on a “catch” by D.K. Metcalf. The referee on the field said it was a catch, but because he slightly bobbled the catch, they called it incomplete.
Dud(s) Of The Week: Seahawks Defensive Line
This week’s duds go to the Seattle Seahawks defensive line. They gave up 283 yards on 40 carries and could never consistently get stops.
Additionally, Seattle only got to Raiders QB David Carr one time. Not only were they manhandled by the Raiders, but they also couldn’t make a tackle when they had the chance.
In what ended devastatingly with the walk-off run by Josh Jacobs, the Seattle Seahawks defense looked overpowered at every turn. Jacobs dominated the field and even made the usually sturdy Al Woods look exceptionally weak with a strong, stiff arm.
