This Sunday morning, 6-1 Seattle travels to face 6-2 Buffalo in a game that could help either franchise cement itself as a contender in their respective conference. With both teams at or near the top of their side of the league, another win would force them into the conversation of playoff contenders, while a loss could add weight to the burden of lingering questions about their true ability, despite a great start to their seasons.
To be honest, this year’s Bills remind me a lot of Seattle in 2018. Russell Wilson was the undisputed leader of the team and had defined himself as a passer and a runner, they had a declining Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett just hitting his prime, a talented but unproven second year running back Chris Carson, high upside rookie Rashaad Penny, and a patchwork defense trying to find its identity.
