OAKLAND-It maybe just preseason, but the Oakland Raiders ended it on a high note against the Seattle Seahawks.

Derek Carr threw three touchdowns on three of the Raiders first four possessions, while second-year player Latavius Murray added a five-yard touchdown and the Raiders defeated the Seahawks 41-31 at the Coliseum.

Carr went 11-for-13 for 143 yards and those three touchdowns before being replaced by Matt McGloin in the second quarter.

On the other side of the ball, the Raiders played good, after allowing a Seahawks touchdown on the opening drive of the game.

Russell Wilson drove the Seahawks down the field, and it culminated with a touchdown pass to Luke Wilson from 25 yards out just one minute 44 seconds into the game.

The Raiders defense continue to show progress, as they played mostly second stringers against the Seahawks first team offense.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Raiders scratched Taiwan Jones, Tarell Brown, Chimdi Chekwa, Nick Roach, Sio Moore, Justin Tuck, Antonio Smith and Kaelin Burnett.

Both Charles Woodson and Carlos Rogers were part of the scratches; however both were announced as starters.

Matt McGloin threw an interception in the second quarter that DeShawn Shead returned 54 yards for a touchdown to narrow the Raiders down to 28-14 half way thru the second quarter.

On the offensive side of the ball, Matt Schaub, Darren McFadden, Maurice Jones-Drew, Marcel Reese, Rod Streater, David Ausberry and James Jones were scratched.

McGloin found Brice Butler wide open in the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown pass with just two minutes remaining in the first half.

Denarius Moore caught two of Carr’s touchdown passes in the first quarter, as the Raiders jumped out to a 14-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

Former CAL Bear Giorgio Tavecchio kicked a 47-yard field goal in the third quarter to put the Raiders up by 17.

Steven Hauschka kicked a 27-yard field goal on the drive following the Tavecchio field goal.

After a Marquette King punt, B.J. Daniels drove the Seahawks down the field and culminated with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Bryan Walters.

Tavecchio closed out the scoring, as he hit his second 47-yard field goal of the game with just under two minutes remaining in the game.

In his return to the Coliseum, former Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor went 11-for-17 for 134 yards and a touchdown.
