FLASH RECAP:
Oakland surrenders nine sacks, doesn't score an offensive touchdown for the fifth time in eight games this season and gains only 185 total yards in another Monday night meltdown.
Defensive tackle Craig Terrill has three sacks and running back Maurice Morris rushes for a career-high 138 yards to help the Seahawks dominate Oakland before an announced crowd of 67,816 at Qwest Field on Nov. 6, 2006.
The offensive-inept Raiders (2-6) become the first team to be shut out twice in one season on Monday Night Football. Oakland extends its scoreless streak to 167 minutes, 3 seconds in Monday games. The Raiders opened their season with a dreadful 42-0 loss to San Diego on a Monday night.
Oakland's Andrew Walter is 16-of-35 passing for 166 yards. Walter is sacked five times in the first quarter, including on three successive plays.
On a rain-drenched night in Seattle, the reigning NFC champion Seahawks (5-3) build a 10-0 first-quarter lead on Seneca Wallace's 22-yard touchdown pass to Deion Branch and the first of three Josh Brown field goals.
Defensive end Tyler Brayton caps Oakland's abysmal performance when he's ejected for kneeing Seattle tight end Jerramy Stevens in the groin at the end of a play during the game's final two minutes.

THEY SAID IT:
Raiders OT Robert Gallery
"If we don't play good up front, we can't do anything on offense. If we don't give (QB Andrew Walter) time to do his job, we're not going to get anything done. ... It's on the line right now, like it's been all year."
"It was just a matter of time. We haven't gotten after the quarterback for a number of weeks, and finally it all came together for us tonight. A lot of it was just beating the man across from you."
Seahawks DE Grant Wistrom
