#PokesInThePros Week 9
A marquee matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Seattle Seahawks took place in Buffalo, New York, on Sunday afternoon. The game between the 6-2 Bills vs. the 7-1 Seahawks did not disappoint. Josh Allen got off to a fast start, throwing two touchdowns in the first quarter and leading the Bills out to a 17-0 advantage. It was 17-10 heading into halftime, and after no points were scored in the third quarter Allen led the Bills downfield for a Zack Moss rushing TD. On the next Buffalo drive Allen took it in himself on the ground and the Bills held a 34-10 advantage which the Seahawks could not recover. Allen and the Bills are atop the NFC East this late into the season for the first time since 1993.
On the other side of the field in Buffalo was Seahawks Tight End Jacob Hollister. Hollister, a former teammate of Allen at Wyoming, and a rumored trade candidate before last week's deadline hauled in five catches for 60 yards. Both mark a season high for the fourth-year player.
Brian Hill and Tyler Hall suited up for the Atlanta Falcons for a Sunday showdown with the Denver Broncos. Hill rushed eight times for 24 yards on the ground, while Hall made one tackle on special teams as the Falcons got the 34-27 win.
