By Tayyib Abu
The six standout studs from the Buffalo Bills’ dominant win over Seattle.
The Buffalo Bills sent a message to the rest of the NFL as they dismantled the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. The Bills had gotten off to a brilliant start back in September but their most recent performances gave us more questions than answers. Buffalo snuck out a victory in Week 8 over the Patriots and many fans were wondering how good this team was.
Those questions were answered as the Bills got a statement victory over another contender. Buffalo was excellent in every phase of the game against the Seahawks. Josh Allen refound that early season form that put him in the MVP conversation. The former Wyoming man was on point. He had the accuracy back and showed he could still use his feet to keep the offense on schedule..
Head coach Sean McDermott is known for his defensive coaching ability. Since he has been the head coach of the Bills, their defense has been a top-10 unit for the last two years. This year has been different so far; through eight weeks, Buffalo has been average.
The Bills were 16th in yardage allowed coming into this one and had only four interceptions. These were poor numbers for a defense that boasts star talent at every level. Pro Bowlers and All-Pros fill this defense. But in a big game against the MVP favorite, the defense came alive and was the foundations to this superb win.
Buffalo is now 7-2 and are in great shape to win their first AFC East title in over 20 years. These Bills are tough, gutsy and competitive. Willed on by a fanbase desperate for success, it does look like the Buffalo Bills are the real deal. Winter may be coming in western New York but the Bills are heating up at the right time. This was a superb win and it’s time to recognize that by seeing who shone brightest in this huge win.
