The Raiders host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium, with Las Vegas’ Fernando Mendoza set for his first NFL start.
The Story
The Las Vegas Raiders return to Allegiant Stadium on Sunday for a game against the Seattle Seahawks, a reunion for several people with Seahawks ties.
Raiders offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko said he wore his Super Bowl ring twice this summer at the request of his wife, and that the ring is otherwise kept in a safe deposit box.
Janocko, who previously coached Sam Darnold in Seattle, is part of new Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak’s staff.
Kubiak also brought Rick Dennison with him as the Raiders’ offensive-line coach.
The story also centres on Fernando Mendoza, who is expected to play Sunday in what will be his first NFL start after coming off the field following his first series as a starter.
Kubiak said when the subject came up earlier in the week, he was still dealing with a 38–17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers that included five Raiders turnovers on film.
Janocko said there will be time for hugs after the game, but that the approach is to let others handle their own moments.
