Buffalo Rumblings
A clash of division leaders is set to take place in the Pacific Northwest
The Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks are ready for kickoff, and that means that we’re all ready to strap in and enjoy the ride for the next few hours. With a win, Buffalo would move to 6-2, maintaining strong control over the AFC East Division. Seattle can move to 5-3 with a win, thereby keeping themselves in control of the NFC West Division.
The last time these teams met was in 2020, and there was plenty of offense. Buffalo ultimately won a shootout, outlasting a tough Seattle squad in a 44-34 win. That game took place in the friendly confines of Highmark Stadium. For the last time these teams met in Seattle, we have to travel back in time to the era of Rex Ryan and Tyrod Taylor. Buffalo lost a close one, dropping a 31-25 contest that could have been vastly different if not for a ridiculous series of events at the end of the first half.
This time around, Josh Allen will look to lead a Buffalo offense that seemed to find its stride last week against a tough Tennessee Titans defense. For Seattle, quarterback Geno Smith will be without his best recveiver, as DK Metcalf will miss the game thanks to a knee injury he suffered last week.
