Last meeting
Then-Bills QB Drew Bledsoe threw three interceptions, but RB Willis McGahee ran for 116 yards and four touchdowns, helping Buffalo roll over Seattle, 38-9 in Week 12 of the 2004 season.
Bills LT Langston Walker: LT Jason Peters ended his holdout Friday, but is not expected to play until Week 2. The Bills have moved Walker to Peters' spot after playing all of last season at right tackle. Backup Kirk Chambers will take over on the right side.
Seahawks WR Nate Burleson: With injuries to Bobby Engram (shoulder), Deion Branch (knee) and Ben Obomanu (season-ending clavicle injury), Burleson seems to be the only reliable option for Matt Hasselbeck, who is battling a back injury but is expected to start.
Seattle's running game: Gone are the days when Seattle leaned on Shaun Alexander and its ground game. Offseason acquisitions Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett will compliment starter Maurice Morris against an improved Bills run defense.
