With the second half of the 2026 NFL regular season underway, every game counts for the Las Vegas Raiders’ playoff aspirations. However, they will face a tough challenge in Week 10 against the defending Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks.
Top overall pick Fernando Mendoza will face a tough test against a unit that allows the fewest total yards per game. Likewise, it remains to be seen if the rookie quarterback can sustain the potent passing attack that Kirk Cousins facilitated through nine weeks.
As the Raiders and the Seahawks compete to improve their standing, the men in black and white will keep the game fair and balanced.
Brad Allen will be the referee and officiating chief for the Week 10 Raiders-Seahawks showdown at Allegiant Stadium. Interestingly, the Raiders are 4-7 when he’s the referee. Allen has 13 years of officiating experience, and he works as a nonprofit CEO when not keeping football games clean.
Allen will work with umpire Marcus Woods and down judge Sarah Thomas, the first full-time female game official hired by the NFL. Thomas is also the first female to officiate an NFL playoff game and the first female to officiate a Super Bowl.
Meanwhile, Walter Flowers will be the line judge, and Chad Hill will be the side judge. Flowers and Hill have both worked with Allen last season. However, the same can’t be said for field judge Anthony Flemming, who was under referee John Hussey last season.
Finally, four-year game official Tyree Walton completes the Week 10 Raiders-Seahawks crew as the back judge. Joining them from the booth are replay official Jim Van Geffen, who worked with referee Bill Vinovich last season, and replay assistant Randy Roseberry.
