To the surprise of no one, there is a show going on in Vegas right now. The fireworks are on display early between the Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders, as both teams have exchanged touchdown blows. Raiders rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza scored the first touchdown of his career shortly after Drew Lock fumbled on the second play of the game, but Drew Lock more than made up for it.
During Seattle’s ensuing possession, the Seahawks were facing a 3rd-and-15 deep in Vegas territory. A touchdown to Jaxon Smith-Njigba was wiped off the board due to the softest “offensive pass interference” call of all-time. Lock took the ball, faced pressure, was flushed out of the pocket, and even avoided a sack near the line of scrimmage. All of that resulted in a 34-yard touchdown strike to Cooper Kupp.
