Seahawks 23, Raiders 16
FLASH RECAP:
T.J. Duckett rushes for two touchdowns to lead Seattle (3-1) to a victory over Oakland (1-3) in their 2008 exhibition finale before an announced crowd of 67,163 at Qwest Field on Aug. 29.
Sebastian Janikowski's three field goals and Marcel Reece's 25-yard touchdown catch account for Oakland's scoring.
PRIME-TIME PLAYERS:
Seattle
RB T.J. Duckett Rushes for two TDs and a game-high 71 yards on 11 carries.
QB Seneca Wallace Is 21-of-30 passing for 255 yards with no TD passes or interceptions.
DE Jason Babin Has one of the Seahawks' two sacks and a team-high five tackles.
Oakland
QB Andrew Walter Is 16-of-24 passing for 162 yards despite playing with second- and third teammers. When his Raiders contract expires after the 2008 season, make no mistake that Walter will be paid big bucks to be a starting QB by another NFL team.
K Sebastian Janikowski Is 3-of-4 on field goal attempts. He makes kicks of 40, 50 and 37 yards and is short on a 66-yard attempt after missing the club's first three 2008 exhibition games because of a hamstring injury.
RB Darren McFadden His 23-yard run during the second quarter draws oohs from the Qwest Stadium crowd. The rookie from Arkansas finishes with 50 yards on four carries for a whopping 12.5 yards per rush.
KEY STAT:
The teams combine for 18 penalties, 10 by the Raiders and eight by the Seahawks.
THEY SAID IT:
"Very successful ... nobody got hurt today. Very pleased with that."
Raiders coach Lane Kiffin
With my size, you get put in a lot of categories. I think today was my first chance to be in every situation, to be in on every downto see what I can do.
