‘All Russell Wilson needs at the moment is a few stops, and he can do the rest. Unless you’re watching 2019 tape, the Bills’ defense doesn’t look like the group to stop him.’

Bills vs. Seahawks Week 9 | How to watch, stream, and listen
‘Play-by-Play: Chris Myers. Analysis: Brock Huard.’
Bills Today | CBS Sports recommends starting this Bills player in fantasy this week
‘The first four games of the season were amazing for Allen when he scored at least 29 fantasy points in each outing. The past four, however, have been disappointing with under 20 fantasy points in each game. Well, as we’re in November now, hopefully, a new month will bring a change for Allen, and he can start producing like he did to open the year. It helps that he’s facing a Seattle defense that has struggled with quarterbacks all season, especially rushing ones. Cam Newton, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Kyler Murray all had at least 10 Fantasy points with their legs, which should help Allen’s floor since he has four rushing touchdowns on the season. And the Seahawks allow the second-most passing yards on the year. This should be a solid bounce-back week for Allen at home.’
Bills-Seahawks: It comes down to QBs
‘But Seattle is an enigma on the other side of the ball, sitting last in the NFL in both yards surrendered per game (461) and passing yards given up (359).’
Who decided ‘Bills Mafia’ was just fine?
‘Pegula Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Bills, has vast media and community relations departments and presumably ties to high-profile legal firms. Did nobody among them suggest that attaching the franchise to the phrase “Bills Mafia” via a trademark was a bad idea no matter how many shirts and hats were sold?’
Take Five: Bills need running game to provide second defense vs. Seahawks
‘The Seahawks’ defense ranks ninth in the NFL against the run, though that’s largely because opponents have so much success against their bottom-ranked pass D. The only way the Bills can show the improvement of their run game is legit – and not a function of feasting on the Patriots’ weak tackling – is to do it in back-to-back games.’
Bills-Pats is season’s second-highest rated game; Myers, Huard back for Seattle game
‘The game that was widely viewed as ending the Patriots’ AFC East dominance of the Bills over two decades had a 41.1 rating on WIVB-TV (Channel 4), the local CBS affiliate. That made it the second-highest rated game of the season.’
ESPN’s Christine Lisi is a proud voice of Bills Nation
‘“And I see so much of that in this Bills team,” Lisi said. “I’m hoping this is the start of something like those years for the Bills.”’
Seahawks assistant coach Clint Hurtt hasn’t forgotten he comes from Rochester

Bills rule out Matt Milano, Mitch Morse vs. Seahawks; new LB Darron Lee could be active
‘McDermott also ruled out special teams ace Taiwan Jones for the game this week. Jones has been dealing with a hamstring injury and he’s been out of practice all week. Cornerback Josh Norman will be out again this week as he continues to work back from the hamstring injury.’
Sean McDermott on A.J. Klein’s play, handling of Matt Milano injury
‘Klein has started four games for the Bills (6-2) and has played more than 60% or more snaps in five games. He has 28 total tackles, none for a loss, one quarterback hit, one forced fumble and zero passes defended. If we’re being honest, Klein has been a liability when he’s been on the field.’
Cuomo rules out fans at Buffalo Bills games during coronavirus surge
‘But the Buffalo area is one of several parts of the state Cuomo identified today as likely to get new coronavirus rules next week. The Rochester and Syracuse areas were the others.’

The Opposing View: An Insider’s Look At The Seahawks’ Week 9 Opponent, The Buffalo Bills
‘The league will eventually figure you out once you give it enough time. The Titans, Chiefs and Jets all played a lot more zone coverage than the Bills were accustomed to seeing in their first four games, and the Bills were slower to adjust than you’d like to see if you’re a fan of the team. Buffalo’s run game was also late to the party, and the offense as a whole struggled when teams sold out to take away the pass and the Bills couldn’t move the ball on the ground. Allen, himself, hasn’t been bad these past four games, but he hasn’t been asked (or able) to stretch the field like he was at the beginning of the season. I have a feeling that changes this Sunday.’
