Two Bills Drive

‘The Seahawks’ defense made a number of big plays, forcing four fumbles and registering three sacks. And a second-quarter goal-line stand of four stops at the 1 was stunning. But the defense also gave up 188 rushing yards and let the Bills convert 60 percent of their third-down tries.’

‘Ted Washington, Buffalo’s immovable noseguard, was impenetrable.’

Short Seattle-based review of game.

Holmgren seems a bit grumpy.

‘It was not a stellar exhibition opener for either team’s offensive starters.’

Game capsule of Bills victory over Seatlle.

‘It’s conceded that Doug Flutie will be the regular-season starter at quarterback off his inspired effort a year ago. But former first-stringer Rob Johnson is pressing him and, by most accounts, has outplayed Flutie in training camp.’

‘Today’s game will be the first live local broadcast of a sporting event in High Definition Television (HDTV). The system is shown on a horizontal screen (16X9) and gives a panoramic view. It offers five times more resolution than current TV signals, and it has twice the sharpness and CD-quality sound.’
