On November 28, 2004, Willis McGahee ran all over the Seahawks for another big victory vs. the Seattle Seahawks.

It was a Buffalo Bills’ offense that featured Drew Bledsoe, Willis McGahee, Eric Moulds and Lee Evans. A Bills’ defense that featured Terrence McGee, London Fletcher, Nate Clements, Takeo Spikes, Jeff Posey and Lawyer Milloy.

It was also against the Seattle Seahawks, which included Shaun Alexander, Matt Hasselbeck and Jerry Rice — who was a future hall-of-famer at the time playing in his final season before retiring.

Another high-scoring game for the Buffalo Bills, this win is what started the Bills’ two-game winning streak against the Seahawks — which was ended by Russell Wilson in his rookie year, we discussed it earlier.

On November 28, 2004, it was a game that was decided by Willis McGahee’s ability to find the endzone and it was something he did all night long. His efforts helped bring a struggling Buffalo team to 5-6 with their 38-9 win on this day, sending Seattle to 6-5 on the season.

McGahee would start the scoring off in the first quarter, which would end up being the only points scored in the first quarter. It was off a 2-yard run a little over four minutes into the game that gave the Bills an early 7-0 lead.

The second quarter was started off with a 25-yard field goal by Rian Lindell just a minute and a half into the quarter. The Seahawks would respond with a 19-yard field goal by Josh Brown with 8 minutes left in the quarter. Showing more offensive power, Drew Bledsoe would connect with Lee Evans for a 3-yard passing TD with six seconds left in the first half.

The Bills were up 17-3 at halftime.

The second half was when Willis McGahee completely took control of this game. He would score a 2-yard rushing TD 8 minutes into the third quarter, a 30-yard rushing touchdown just over 4 minutes into the fourth quarter and a one-yard rushing TD about 8 minutes into the fourth quarter.

The Seahawks would finally respond after a 21-0 run by McGahee with a 8-yard passing TD from Matt Hasselbeck. A failed two-point conversion would end the game 38-9 in favor of the Buffalo Bills.

McGahee finished the game with 116 yards and 4 touchdowns, which helped ease the pain of Drew Bledsoe’s three interceptions. The Bills held Shaun Alexander to just 39 yards on 13 attempts. Eric Moulds and Lee Evans combined for 14 catches, 163 yards and one TD.

Again, a box score similar to this game would be great for the Buffalo Bills come Monday night. We shall see.

Now that we’ve gotten a glimpse of the past three meetings between these teams, it’s time to go to the fourth: November 18, 2001.
