Seattle Seahawks Stumble Against Buffalo Bills, Aiming for Redemption

In a week 8 matchup that saw the Seattle Seahawks fall to a 4-4 record, the team struggled to find its rhythm against the Buffalo Bills, who improved their standing to 6-2. The final score of 31-10 in favor of the visitors underscored a game filled with missed opportunities and challenges for the Seahawks at Lumen Field.

Game Highlights


The Seattle Seahawks' performance was marked by moments that could have turned the tide in their favor but ultimately led to their downfall. Punter Michael Dickson showcased his skill with an impressive average of 61.25 yards across four punts, managing to place two within the 20-yard line. However, despite these efforts to control field position, other aspects of the game did not align for Seattle.


On defense, Josh Jobe's interception return for 33 yards was a highlight, demonstrating tenacity and skill. Yet, this effort alone wasn't enough to stem the tide against a determined Buffalo offense. The defensive unit as a whole recorded zero sacks and allowed over three hundred total yards.


Offensively, quarterback Geno Smith completed an impressive 72 percent of his passes for a total of 212 yards but was hindered by one interception and only managed net passing yards of 201 after accounting for sack losses. The rushing attack didn't fare much better with Zach Charbonnet scoring the lone touchdown on one of his three attempts that totaled just four rushing yards.


Looking Ahead


As they look forward to their next game against Los Angeles Rams at Lumen Field on November 3rd at 4:25 PM EDT broadcasted on FOX, fans are hopeful that Seattle can address these issues and capitalize on their strengths more effectively.


This upcoming home game presents an opportunity for redemption as they aim to improve upon their .500 record midway through what promises to be another challenging NFL season.
