How do the Bills grab a road win over the Seahawks? 4 keys to victory
‘Even if the Seattle defensive line is strong, the team’s run defense leaves quite a bit to be desired. The Seahawks have allowed 1,023 rushing yards this season – fourth-worst in the NFL. They’re allowing teams 5.0 yards a carry, and they’ve given up nine runs of 20 or more yards. The Bills, meanwhile, are continuing to find ways to use all three of their running backs. “Our line’s opening up the holes for (our running backs), as well,” Allen said. “It’s vital for our offense in terms of being able to move guys, create running lanes, our play-action game is very much predicated on how well we can run the ball.”’
Bills-Seahawks numbers to know: These 4 stats could shape Buffalo's game vs. Seattle

Bills-Seahawks: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their predictions on Sunday's game
‘Calling all Bills defensive linemen: Stop the Seattle run game and you’ll be able to work over a Seahawks offense that has allowed 20 sacks in seven games. The Seahawks are averaging 4.5 yards per carry and are tied for fourth with 10 touchdowns. Get Seattle into third-and-long, and the Bills’ defense will have an advantage; opponents are 11 of 40 vs. the Bills on third down when needing 8 or more yards. Offensively, the Bills should have success exploiting Seattle’s 28th-ranked rush defense. A lot of James Cook. Some Ray Davis. A little bit of Ty Johnson. Especially in rainy conditions, take the air out of the football and fly home 6-2. Bills, 34-27.’
Bills Mailbag: After addressing wide receiver, what position should Brandon Beane be in the market for next?
‘A compelling case can be made for each, but I’d rank them this way: 1. Cooper, 2. Hopkins, 3. Adams. We’ve seen in just one game what Cooper means for the Bills’ offense. In addition to making big plays against the Titans, Cooper opened things up for the rest of the Bills’ receivers. It remains to be seen what Hopkins will do for the Chiefs, although they had a need that was similar to that of the Bills. Adams is a solid player, but it feels like the Jets’ season is too far gone for him to make the type of impact New York would need him to make.’
