Preview Buffalo Bills visit Seattle

The Buffalo Bills come to play the
Seattle Seahawks Sunday afternoon.
The Bills are 5-2 while Seahawks
are 4-3.

The Seahawks may have played
their best game last week against
the Falcons in Atlanta.

The Bills are the only team  the
AFC East to have a winning record.
They could run away with the division.

The Bills will be without a couple linebackers, safety, and wide receiver
who are not on injured. 

The Seahawks might be without receiver DK Metcalf who  will be a big blow. His
injury isn't as bad as first thought.
The likelihood Jake Bobo will start
in his spot if it happens. Also Laviska
Shenault Jr. who has done well on
kickoffs and Dareke Young will see
some action too. 

Two offensive lineman are back in
practice this week for the Seahawks. 
Abe Lucas who has been the right
tackle starting until being hurt and
George Fant signed during the offseason
to add depth to the line.  Lucas likely
won't play. Last Sunday rookie Michael
Jerrell started for the first time at
right tackle. He did a fine job so he
could start again. Lucas when healthy 
could move to guard to keep from
being banged up.  The Seahawks
have had trouble on the line for years
so change could happen.

News came out that the Seahawks
made a trade on Wednesday acquiring
linebacker Ernest Jones IV from the
Tennessee Titans for linebacker Jerome
Baker and a fourth round pick in next 
year's draft. Baker has started five 
games for the Seahawks however he
was injured much of training. Both 
players are going to become free
agents during the upcoming offseason.
Jones was unable to come to an
agreement with the Titans on a new
deal. Jones was a third round pick
by the LA Rams in 2021 before being
traded to the Titans in August. The
Titans received a 2026 sixth round 
pick with Jones while Rams received
a fifth round pick in 2026. The Seahawks
feel it will be an upgrade at the linebacker slot and hope to sign Jones
to an extension. 

The Seahawks are 8-6 in the series
against the Bills. The teams have
split the last four times playing.
The last outing Buffalo won at home
on November 8, 2020 44-34. The
Seahawks won the time before at
home 31-25 on November 7, 2016.
The Bills are favored by three and
a half points. So this could be a
close one. Go Hawks!
