The Seattle Seahawks dominated a dismal Oakland Raiders outfit in the first NFL International Series game of 2018 at Wembley, running out convincing 27-3 winners.
The Seahawks held the Raiders scoreless in the first half, and to just 185 yards total on the night, as they eased to victory in front of a vocal pro-Seattle crowd, despite Oakland being the adopted 'home' team.
Derek Carr was strip-sacked down near Oakland's goal line in the second quarter and returned just 133 yards passing as the Raiders quarterback struggled throughout.
Russell Wilson, meanwhile, threw for 222 yards and three touchdowns, the first to Jaron Brown on the opening drive of the game, then to David Moore off the back of that Carr turnover, with a third strike to Tyler Lockett in the fourth quarter.
Wilson did, however, throw an interception in the third quarter, his only blemish in an otherwise faultless display, trying to force the ball into the endzone with his receiver double covered as he looked to extend Seattle's lead.
But, the Seahawks comfortably held on to victory, moving up to a competitive 3-3 mark on the season, while the Raiders slip further back in the mire at 1-5.
NFL returns to Wembley next Sunday as the Los Angeles Chargers host the Tennessee Titans, while the Jacksonville Jaguars return to their second home to face the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles on October 28.

Bears 28-31 Dolphins (OT)
Jason Sanders kicked a 47-yard field goal to win it for Miami (4-2) on the final play of overtime after Cody Parkey missed a 53-yard try for the Bears (3-2), who blew an 11-point lead in regulation.
Miami's Brock Osweiler threw for 380 yards and three touchdowns as he subbed in for Ryan Tannehill, who sat out because of an injured throwing shoulder. Albert Wilson turned two short passes into long touchdowns in the fourth quarter and finished with 155 yards on six receptions.
Steelers 28-21 Bengals
James Conner ran for 111 yards and a pair of touchdowns as Pittsburgh (3-2-1) pulled off another improbable comeback in Cincinnati (4-2).
The Steelers have now won eight in a row against their AFC North rivals, three times rallying in the final minute at Paul Brown Stadium to keep it going. After Joe Mixon's four-yard touchdown run with little more than a minute left got the Bengals thinking this might finally be the end of the streak, Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers stunned them again.
Buccaneers 29-34 Falcons
Matt Ryan threw for 354 yards and three touchdowns as the Falcons (2-4) snapped a three-game losing streak, holding off Tampa Bay (2-3).
Colts 34-42 Jets
Jason Myers kicked a franchise-record seven field goals, and Sam Darnold threw two touchdown passes, as the Jets (3-3) held on to beat the Colts (1-5) and win consecutive games for the first time in more than a year.
Cardinals 17-27 Vikings
Latavius Murray helped the Vikings (3-2-1) revive their running attack with 155 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries, ultimately wearing down a competitive Cardinals (1-5) outfit.
Minnesota wide receiver Adam Thielen had 11 receptions for 123 yards, his sixth straight 100-yard game to become the first player in the NFL since 1961 to start a season with a streak that long. Thielen's 58 catches are the most in league history through six games.
Falcons 17-23 Redskins
Josh Norman bounced back from his benching last week by intercepting former team-mate Cam Newton and forcing a fumble as the Redskins (3-2) edged out Carolina (3-2).
Chargers 38-14 Browns
Philip Rivers threw two touchdown passes to Tyrell Williams and Melvin Gordon had three TD runs as the Chargers (4-2) beat rookie Baker Mayfield and the Browns (2-3-1).
Bills 13-20 Texans
Johnathan Joseph's 28-yard interception return for a touchdown with just over a minute remaining lifted the Texans (3-3) to victory over the Bills (2-4).
