Mendoza's first start comes this weekend against a very good Seattle Seahawks defense. That's a tough assignment for a quarterback's first NFL start, but the matchup could tilt in Las Vegas' favor since Seattle is struggling to run the ball and will be playing backup quarterback Drew Lock on Sunday.

Mendoza makes first NFL start vs. Seahawks; schedule softens after bye week.

Fernando Mendoza takes over as the Raiders' starting quarterback following Kirk Cousins' trade to the Vikings. Mendoza's first NFL start comes in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks defense, described as a tough assignment for a rookie's debut. However, the matchup could favor Las Vegas since Seattle is struggling to run the ball and will start backup quarterback Drew Lock. The Raiders' schedule softens after their bye week in Week 12, providing Mendoza an opportunity to prove he can support the offense's existing pieces.
