Tonight at 10 p.m. ET, the Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders take the field for their preseason finales live from the O.co Coliseum in Oakland. The game can be live streamed here. Seattle fans can hear all of the action on 710 KIRO while Oakland fans can do the same on 95.7 The Game.
Seattle enters its final preseason game with a 2-1 record thus far while Oakland is 1-2 on the exhibition slate and looks to close it out with a home victory. The starters may not get much action with this being the final game before the regular season kicks off.
The Seahawks turn to Russell Wilson, who will be under center for his third season after guiding the franchise to the first Super Bowl in its history in his sophomore season in 2013. Wilson went 257-for-407 (63.1% for 3,357 yards with 26 touchdowns and nine interceptions last year.
Wilson will hope to get a chance to target Percy Harvin this season after injuries limited him to one game in last year's campaign. Marshawn Lynch, who missed most of training camp due to a contract holdout, led Seattle with 1,257 rushing yards last season off of 301 carries while reaching the end zone 12 times.
The Seahawks took a big hit to their defense this offseason, so Richard Sherman and company will have to take substantial steps to help the team get back into the postseason.
The Raiders enter 2014 on an 11-year playoff drought and made a lot of changes this offseason, bringing in Matt Schaub and then drafting Derek Carr to give it some options under center.
Schaub had a sluggish campaign last season in Houston, going 219-for-358 (61.2 percent) for 2,310 yards with 10 touchdowns and 14 interceptions for the Texans. Rod Streater led Oakland receivers last season with 80 catches for 888 yards and four touchdowns.
Oakland brought in Maurice Jones-Drew to team up with Darren McFadden in hopes to reignite the rushing game. Jones-Drew had an up-and-down season with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013, rushing the ball for 830 yards on 234 carries and reaching the end zone five times. McFadden had 114 carries for 379 yards and six touchdowns.
The Seahawks and Raiders close out their preseasons tonight when they take the field at the O.co Coliseum in Oakland.
