Seattle head coach Mike Macdonald said the Seahawks are trying to depart for Las Vegas on Saturday after a nationwide FAA ground stop Friday.
The Story
The Seattle Seahawks’ plans to travel to Las Vegas for their Week 10 game were thrown into uncertainty after the Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide ground stop on Friday, Nov. 13.
Macdonald said he had only just learned about the FAA order while arriving at the team facility and that the Seahawks would adjust as needed.
“I just heard about it walking in here from Dave, so I don’t know,” Macdonald said. “I don’t know. We’ll play it by ear. Obviously, we’ll adjust how we need to adjust.”
Macdonald also indicated the team intends to leave for Las Vegas on Saturday, Nov. 14, giving it additional time to work around disruptions.
“We have a plan for tomorrow. We’re leaving tomorrow, which helps — or we’re trying to leave tomorrow,” he said.
The Seahawks are scheduled to play the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 1:05 p.m. Pacific.
Seattle enters the game at 5-4 after posting a 17-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9.
The Raiders are 4-5, and the matchup features a familiar connection on the sideline: Las Vegas head coach Klint Kubiak previously served as Seattle’s offensive coordinator during the Seahawks’ Super Bowl-winning 2025 season.
