Report Card: Dominant performance in a hostile environment earns Bills straight A's
Here are Jay Skurski's grades for the Buffalo Bills in their 31-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
Grading the Buffalo Bills in their 31-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Lumen Field …
Running game: A
James Cook gained 8 yards on his first carry and never looked back. He needed just 17 carries to pile up 111 yards and a pair of touchdowns, leading a dominant effort on the ground. Rookie Ray Davis chipped in 29 yards on six carries and quarterback Josh Allen added 25 yards on seven attempts as the team piled up 164 yards on 34 carries. Even when things went wrong, they ended up right. Allen fumbled a wet ball on a scramble in the first half, but running back Ty Johnson was in the right place to make the recovery, maintaining possession on a drive that ended with a touchdown.Pass offense: A
Allen made a perfect throw to tight end Dawson Knox for a gain of 23 yards on the Bills’ first offensive play from scrimmage and the passing game took off. The quarterback threw for 283 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Khalil Shakir and rookie Keon Coleman did most of the damage, combining for 14 catches, 177 yards and a touchdown. Coleman has 195 receiving yards over the past two games. “Our staff has got him rolling,” Allen said of Coleman. “Knows what he's doing. When he knows what he's doing, when he's rolling, he's a damn good football player. He's continuing to make plays for us. And you love to see that from the young guy. And he's only going to get better.” Knox’s two catches went for 50 yards, while Dalton Kincaid had four catches for 31 yards and a touchdown. Kincaid reached 100 career receptions in his second season, making him the 54th member of the franchise to reach that number, but only the fifth to do it in his first two seasons. Allen’s two touchdown passes give him 181 for his career, tying Joe Ferguson for second on the Bills’ all-time list, behind only Jim Kelly (237).

Run defense: A+
The Seahawks ran 10 times in the first half. They gained 0 yards. It’s the fifth time under Sean McDermott that the Bills have allowed 1 rushing yard or fewer in the first half of a game. Seahawks starting running back Kenneth Walker managed just 12 yards on nine attempts. “We knew that they were going to challenge the line of scrimmage, and they did and they did it early, and we were able to snuff it out a little bit there, which helps to make them more one dimensional,” McDermott said. Cornerback Rasul Douglas had a nice tackle for loss in run support early in the game. Eli Ankou had three tackles in his first game on the active roster this season after being called up from the practice squad. Seattle did rush for a touchdown, but it came in the fourth quarter when the Bills were winning 31-3.
Pass defense: A
Greg Rousseau batted down two passes on the Seahawks’ first possession. In between, Taron Johnson made a tackle after just a 1-yard gain. On Seattle’s second possession, Cam Lewis had a pass defensed that was very nearly an interception, and Seattle punted again. The Bills finished with six passes defensed, including Austin Johnson’s interception. Although rookie Javon Solomon got the only individual sack of Smith, the pass rush hit him five times, capitalizing on the run defense making the Seahawks one dimensional. The pass rush will get Von Miller back next week, as he’s now served the final game of his four-game suspension. Taron Johnson (eight tackles) and Douglas (six) finished as the Bills’ two leading tacklers.Special teams: A-
A blindside block called against Lewis on the first punt return by Brandon Codrington cost the Bills 9 yards of field position. Codrington probably shouldn’t have fielded Seattle’s second punt, which traveled 68 yards. He managed a 12-yard return, but only got to the Bills’ 12-yard line. McDermott wasn’t super pleased with the field position after those two punts, but there were some positives on special teams. Tyler Bass didn’t have any stressful kicks, but he was again perfect. Sam Martin got a nice bounce on one of his punts, leading to it going out of bounds inside the Seahawks’ 10. Martin averaged 49 net yards on three punts. The punt coverage unit got a takeaway in the fourth quarter when Mack Hollins jumped on a muffed punt.Coaching: A
So much for those slow starts. The Bills were ready to go right away, which is a credit to the coaching staff. The offense marched 90 yards on its opening drive despite three penalties. That speaks well of the game plan put together by Joe Brady. Defensively, Bobby Babich’s group put together two straight three and outs. Yes, the defense did get a couple of lucky breaks in the first half on Seattle mistakes, but teams don't have to apologize for good fortune. The Bills made a long trip to a hostile stadium look easy. You can’t ask for much more. “A great week of preparation is what led to this,” McDermott said. “Focus. The leadership in the locker room. Guys stepping in for other guys that were hurt.”
Buffalo Bills 31, Seattle Seahawks 10
FULL BOX SCORE
- RE-WATCH: Bills-Seahawks on NFL+ Premium
- Bills overcome early self-inflicted mistakes to stomp Seahawks. Let’s start with the positive. To start the game, the Bills forced an early three-and-out on defense and marched 14 plays and 90 yards in a statement touchdown drive that set the tone for the game. That statement was that the Bills can recover from mistakes better than the Seahawks can. The Bills overcame three penalties and a Josh Allen fumble (wiped out by Seattle penalty) to drive 90 yards for a touchdown, and it was actually 110 yards in raw yards gained. Allen’s interception-less streak also ended at exactly 300 passes, giving the Seahawks a big chance deep in Buffalo territory in a 7-3 game. The Bills’ defense bailed them out with a goal-line stop, and Allen nearly gave it right back with a fumble at his own 9-yard line. But Ty Johnson somehow recovered it for a massive first down. No sweat. Allen coolly led them down on an 85-yard drive in the final minute of the first half. The Bills had an ugly first half but a noticeable talent surplus. Both the offense and defense flexed their muscles in the second half, leading to a surprisingly easy win considering the way it started.
- Seahawks’ early red-zone mistakes cost them dearly. Fresh off a cleanly operated road blowout over the Falcons, the Seahawks took a major step back in their loss to the high-powered Bills, with some ugly early mistakes essentially costing Seattle the game. With no DK Metcalf, their margin for error was already shrunk, and wet conditions were also a factor. After two three-and-outs, the Seahawks drove to the Buffalo 2-yard line, but a bad Connor Williams snap and a penalty turned a TD into a field goal. On the next drive, the Seahawks had third-and-goal at the Buffalo 1, but they were stuffed on the next two plays, with Williams stepping on Geno Smith on the fourth-down sack. On defense, when the Bills were backed up against their end zone, the Seahawks couldn’t recover an Allen fumble. Later that drive, Derick Hall’s massive roughing penalty not only wiped out an illegal shift by the Bills, but it turned a likely long field-goal try (with a shaky kicker) into Allen hitting Dalton Kincaid for a back-breaking touchdown before halftime. The game wasn’t officially in hand until the Bills dominated the third quarter, and the Seahawks made plenty more errors in the second half, but the first-half hole was too big to climb out of.
- The Bills might have something special in Keon Coleman. It was a quiet day for Amari Cooper in his second game with the Bills -- one catch, three yards -- but it was hardly noticeable as the Bills rolled to 445 yards and 31 points; and both could have been higher. Khalil Shakir led the Bills in receptions (nine) and yards (107), but rookie Keon Coleman had a major imprint with five catches for 70 yards and a score. He caught Allen’s opening TD pass on a quick fade, showing impressive strength and body control, and reeled in an impressive 25-yard catch while being held. On the downside, Coleman couldn’t catch what would have been a 25-yard grab on second-and-15, and he was flagged for offensive pass interference, wiping out his 22-yard catch. Coleman also got flagged for unnecessary roughness while blocking on a Shakir run, but that kind of effort might have earned the rookie respect in the Bills’ locker room. And on the next play, Allen fired a 21-yard pass to Coleman on third-and-5, leading to Allen pumping his fist. Allen’s trust in Coleman only has grown with each game, and Cooper’s arrival shouldn’t slow that down at all. The Bills’ weaponry suddenly is very impressive, and Coleman looks like Allen’s eventual WR1 in training.
NFL Research: The Bills have won four games by 21 or more points this season, the most in the NFL.

Flags. With how bad the zebras wanna get on TV don't give them a reason. Bills commit too many penalties. Specially on O
Codrington or whatever his name is. Fielded a punt at the 1 yard line. Common man. That's basic stuff.

Not exactly, I knew he would get reps, and was pretty sure he'd start slowly being incorporated into the offense but damn is he fun to watch and he's just getting started.
