Geno Smith went 10 of 16 passes for 67 yards before Kenny Pickett took over in the fourth quarter. At the time Pickett entered the game, the Raiders had just crossed midfield and had a total of 84 yards of offense.

Smith was acquired in an offseason trade that gave the Seahawks a 2025 third-round pick. His issues with decision-making surfaced on Sunday. Smith held the ball too long, missed open reads and took avoidable sacks.

Pete Carroll’s past loyalty to Smith in Seattle appears to be costing him in Las Vegas.

Injuries didn’t help. The Raiders played without tight end Brock Bowers and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, limiting the passing options. Star defender Maxx Crosby exited before halftime with a knee injury.
