The Buffalo Bills shot some life into western New York on Sunday. In their Week 9 meeting with the Seattle Seahawks, the Bills won in a shootout, 44-34.
Buffalo’s defense got the turnovers they needed while their offense, led by quarterback Josh Allen, reverted back to an elite level against the Seahawks (6-2). He had 415 passing yards alone.
But also with that win, the Bills (7-2), and especially their quarterback, turned some heads nationally as well.
Here’s some of that reaction following the Bills’ win:
NFL Network’s Good Morning Football panel
"Russell Wilson came in as the assumed MVP and top QB in the league. @JoshAllenQB came out and threw for 415 yards, 3 touchdowns, got the W, and did it hours after he lost his grandmother. Quite a performance from the @BuffaloBills QB." — @PSchrags pic.twitter.com/DiQz6kWP7a

Big boy win by the Bills. Didn’t think Josh Allen could outduel Russell Wilson. He did. He was fantastic. Public apology time tomorrow morning #BillsMafia.

Allen ties career high in passing yards with 415. The @BuffaloBills go to 7-2 for first time since ’93. Diggs with another 100 yard game.
Lots to like!

the 2020 Bills became just the 13th team in NFL history to record 20+ first downs in EVERY SINGLE ONE of their first 9 games
the last two teams to achieve that made the Super Bowl (2018 Rams, 2017 Patriots)
Buffalo achieved this once before. They also made the Super Bowl (1992)

What was obvious today in the @BuffaloBills & @Seahawks game is how much Daboll and Frazier out-coached Schottenheimer and Norton—an absolute coaching beat down by Buffalo!
