These are the top 5 takeaways from the Buffalo Bills 44-34 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9.

The Buffalo Bills had their statement win on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks with a decisive win over the NFC West divisional leader. These are the top five takeaways from Week 9 for the Bills.

Defensive Statement

Against what is the most potent offense in the NFL in the Seattle Seahawks, not only did the Buffalo Bills hold their ground, they turned heads while doing it.

Midway through the NFL season, the biggest concern surrounding this 2020 Buffalo Bills team was their defensive play. Blown coverages, lackluster pass rush, and their inability to stop the run had fans worried if this year’s Bills would be any other Bills team. While this matchup on paper looked like a sure-fire 400+ yard day for Russell Wilson, the Bills had other plans.

Making timely stops, generating takeaways, and knocking down Wilson over 15 times was the key to stopping the Seahawks as Wilson can’t make throws if he is on the ground.

With the defensive display that Buffalo had today, much of what concerned fans has slipped away. Performances from A.J. Klein, who has had a rough go in Buffalo, Tre’Davious White, Tremaine Edmunds, and Levi Wallace seemed to have an answer for everything the Seahawks drew up.

Next week against the Arizona Cardinals, the Bills will have to prepare much of the same way as they take on another great offense. Players like Kyler Murray, who has a tendency to run more than Wilson, and De’Andre Hopkins will be another full plate for the Bills defense.

Revel in this statement win as it has taken nine weeks for this defensive unit to come together like this.
