Seahawks Struggle Without DK Metcalf in 31-10 Loss to Bills

Star receiver DK Metcalf's absence due to a knee injury highlights Seattle's offensive challenges against Buffalo.

DK Metcalf was officially ruled out for the game against the Buffalo Bills due to a sprained MCL, missing only the second game of his NFL career.
Without Metcalf, quarterback Geno Smith was limited to 212 passing yards and failed to throw a touchdown for the first time this season.
The Seahawks' running game was also stifled, achieving a season-low 32 rushing yards as the Bills focused on stopping the ground attack.
Recently acquired linebacker Ernest Jones IV made his debut for Seattle, contributing a game-high 15 tackles despite the team's defensive struggles.
A strong showing from Buffalo fans in Seattle added to the home-field disadvantage, as the Bills capitalized on early scoring opportunities.
