Plus, where do the Bills find themselves in the latest NFL power rankings?
The Buffalo Bills thoroughly outplayed and outclassed the host Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon, rolling to a 31-10 victory that wasn’t as close as the final margin would indicate as the Bills were the better team on offense, defense, and special teams in picking up their third straight victory.
Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks offers up final thoughts and observations from Buffalo’s convincing road win in Seattle.
Final thoughts on win in Seattle
Among the standouts from Sunday’s road win were: Wide receiver Khalil Shakir, who was virtually unstoppable in posting his first 100-yard receiving game of the year and third of his young career; running back James Cook, who eclipsed 100 yards on the ground for the first time this year; defensive end Greg Rousseau, who broke up two passes while continuing to harass opposing quarterbacks; and rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman, who made a beautiful catch for a touchdown and finished with five catches for 70 yards.
