‘Brady put together an excellent game plan, attacking the Seahawks right away and changing up their run-on-first-down tendency. Three of the Bills’ first six first down plays were passes, including one on first-and-goal from the Seattle five yard line. At the end of the game the Bills had 34 rushing and 34 passing attempts. They kept the Seahawks off balance all game.’

‘The Seahawks offensive line has struggled this season. That hasn’t stopped them from being the most pass-heavy team in the NFL, throwing the most times (280) and running the second-fewest amount of times (151) in the league. They are starting Mike Jerrell from Division-II Findlay College at right tackle, which will be only his second career start (he started last week).’

‘Davis was the Bills primary X-receiver for multiple seasons. The X-receiver is the one who is lined up right on the line of scrimmage, which can be more difficult to play than the Z-receiver that gets an extra yard between himself and the defender to get off press coverage.’

‘Bernard was officially declared out by head coach Sean McDermott on Friday with an ankle injury suffered in last Sunday’s 34-10 win over the Tennessee Titans at Highmark Stadium.’

‘”He’s a pro, and usually when you make it this far in one’s career, you’re doing something right,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott during his weekly appearance during the “Extra Point Show” on Friday. “That goes back to the process, and the willingness to put in more time. I think that work ethic is part of the reason why he’s been in the league and been as successful as he’s been over the years. That’s going to continue as we move forward here, and anxious and excited to see where that leads us this week and into the future weeks here.”‘

‘Metcalf is a big reason why Seattle quarterback Geno Smith leads the league with 1,985 passing yards over his first seven games. The former New York Jets quarterback has thrown for eight touchdowns and been intercepted six times.’

‘For a second-straight day, linebacker Terrel Bernard was excused from practice for personal reasons, but was still listed with an ankle and pectoral issue.’

‘In the seventh game of his young NFL career, Coleman caught four passes for 125 yards, averaging a whopping 31.3 yards per-reception to help the Bills earn a 34-10 win at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.’

‘Bernard did not practice on Wednesday, but head coach McDermott noted that was due to an excused absence for personal reasons, which was also reflected on the team’s official injury report for the day.’

‘Both linebacker Terrel Bernard and wide receiver Curtis Samuel were declared out during the game due to injuries, while linebacker Dorian Williams left the game, was probable to return, but did not. Bernard left in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury, while Samuel injured his shoulder on the second series of the game, and Williams suffered a knee injury.’

‘The Buffalo defense had no answer to stop the Tennessee offense, as they were able to get within the Bills’ 10-yard line. The Bills were able to make a stop, and force a 25-yard field goal from kicker Nick Folk to claim a 3-0 lead.’

‘Just five days after being acquired from the Cleveland Browns, Cooper was able to make an impact in the Bills offense, reeling in four passes from quarterback Josh Allen for 66 yards and a third quarter touchdown to give Buffalo a lead with would not be relinquished.’

‘The Bills struggled mightily in the first half, especially on the offensive side of the football. Through the first 30 minutes of action, Bills quarterback Josh Allen only completed 4-of-11 pass attempts for 65 yards, as Buffalo trailed 10-7 at the half.’

‘After failing to have an answer in the early goings against the Titans offense, led by quarterback Mason Rudolph, the Bills defense stood strong and shut down Tennessee for the rest of the game. Buffalo’s defensive effort was capped off with an interception by safety Damar Hamlin late in the fourth quarter to squash any last hopes the Titans had.’

‘The offensive game plan Joe Brady put together just didn’t make sense. Too many run plays out of shotgun that took too long to develop. Too many down-the-field passing routes that also took too long. Simpler, short passes along with a physical, downhill running game could have really helped move the sticks early-on.’
