Stacy Rost: 2 numbers that matter for Seahawks vs Raiders

When the Seattle Seahawks square off against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, all eyes will be on rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza and how the No. 1 overall draft pick fares against the defending Super Bowl champions’ “Dark Side” defense.

How rookie QBs have fared against Mike Macdonald’s Seahawks

Ahead of the matchup, here are two numbers to know.

• 4 – The Seahawks are 4-0 against rookie quarterbacks with Mike Macdonald at the helm. They faced two in 2024 (Bo Nix and Caleb Williams) and two last year (Cam Ward and Max Brosmer). Those four rookies combined for one passing touchdown against Seattle.

• 30 – Absolutely none of those quarterbacks led offenses that scored 30 or more points against the Seahawks. Ward’s Titans had the most at 24. Also none of those quarterbacks completed a pass of over 30 yards. Brosmer had the longest at 29.
