Buffalo Bills: 6 Studs in dominant Week 9 win over Seahawks
By Tayyib Abu
Tre’Davious White, CB
Former All-Pro cornerback Tre’ Davious White was fantastic today. He is the heartbeat of the Buffalo Bills’ secondary, and he led the unit incredibly well against an outstanding passing attack. White is a superb open-field tackler and he showed that on Sunday with several strong tackles. White also bagged a fumble recovery and was strong in coverage.
Yes, DK Metcalf still put up strong numbers but he did not take over the game as he has done earlier in the season. With White containing as best as he could, it gave the other defensive backs to corral the rest of the Seattle passing attack. No other Seattle receiver got over 100 yards receiving, which was a testament to White’s excellent job all over the defensive backfield.
Stefon Diggs, WR
Stefon Diggs was the offseason acquisition meant to help Josh Allen bring a new element to the Buffalo Bills offense. Diggs is a high-quality talent that can make plays from anywhere. Whether he needs to stretch the field vertically, catch in traffic or make contested catches, Diggs can do it all.
Diggs and Allen were in sync in Week 9 and the wideout was outstanding today. Over 100 yards receiving, and he got more targets and receptions than other Bills players. Diggs lined up everywhere and caused big problems as the Seattle secondary got scorched.
Every quarterback needs his No. 1 target and Diggs proved on Sunday he is still an elite receiver. The Seahawks possess a highly-skilled secondary and Diggs, with his versatility and team-first mentality, allowed the Bills offense to fly.
