Tyler Lockett signed with the Las Vegas Raiders after being released by the Tennessee Titans, where he recorded 10 receptions for 70 yards in seven games. The wide receiver, who ranks high in Seahawks history, aims to bolster a Raiders offense that is struggling, scoring the second-fewest points per game in the league. The Seahawks took advantage of their bye week to move into first place in the NFC West, benefiting from the 49ers' loss to the Texans. Fans can catch the Washington Commanders versus Kansas City Chiefs tonight, with the Commanders missing star quarterback Jaden Daniels due to injury. In MLS, the Sounders begin their playoff journey against Minnesota United FC tonight, seeking to build on their successful season.

The Huskies notched a significant win over Illinois, improving their record to 6-2, while the Cougars secured a victory against Toledo to avoid a losing streak. The Kraken also continue their strong start, winning against the Edmonton Oilers, and will face the Montreal Canadiens next. Coverage of various games is available on local radio stations.
