The Bills won their third game in a row against a Seahawks team that were looking to build off of their previous win against the Falcons. The Bills held QB Geno Smith, who led the league in passing yards, in check for much of the day. In the first half, the Seahawks had only one-yard rushing, which was the second-fewest rushing yards the Bills have allowed in a first half this century.
“Good to get a win,” head coach Sean McDermott said. “Anytime you can win, you’ll take it. Hard to win in this league, and especially on the road, especially here, they’ve got a track record of playing great at home… Defense went out and held them, which was big from a momentum standpoint.”
En route to the win, multiple Bills had their best performances of the season. Stepping in for injured DT DeWayne Carter, who was placed on IR on Friday, DT Austin Johnson caught an interception that led to a touchdown.
“Catch it,” Johnson said. “When you get those opportunities, you’ve got to definitely take advantage of them. If there was no one in front of me, I would have ran. … If you’ve got a ton of people around you and the offense is rolling and doing an amazing job like they are, I’m just trying to get the ball back to the offense and let them keep on doing their thing. They had an amazing day.”
