Clinging to a one-game lead in the NFC West, the Seahawks will be challenged by a talented Bills squad at home. Can they beat Buffalo to improve to 5-3?
With three division rivals right on their tails in the NFC West standings, the Seattle Seahawks will look to avoid a three-game losing streak at Lumen Field when they host the Buffalo Bills for a pivotal Week 8 matchup between playoff hopefuls.
Injury-wise, Seattle may not have star receiver DK Metcalf, who is doubtful to play due to an MCL sprain in his knee suffered in last week's victory in Atlanta, but cornerback Riq Woolen will return to action after missing two games with an ankle sprain. As for Buffalo, coach Sean McDermott's defense will be short-handed in the middle with standout linebacker Terrel Bernard sidelined by a calf injury.
Set to face one of the NFL's elite dual-threat quarterbacks in Josh Allen, the Seahawks should be close to full strength on defense, including Woolen returning after a two-game absence, which will be a major boost to the secondary dealing with a bolstered Bills receiving corps now featuring Amari Cooper.
With that said, the Bills enter Sunday with the 20th ranked run defense in the league and in their last game without Terrel Bernard, they were gashed by the Ravens for well over 200 rushing yards. Due to the weather, this likely will be a game where success running the football will be vital to offensive success, and the duo of Ken Walker III and Zach Charbonnet could pose real problems for a Bernard-less front seven.
