Seahawks vs Bills: 5 takeaways from Seattle’s exciting win
By Keith Myers
4. Jeremy Lane struggled
Seattle’s defense struggled to get off the field off the field on third down all game. In many of those conversions, it was Lane’s inability to cover Robert Woods that allowed Buffalo to convert.
Woods had a career game. He finished with 10 catches for 162 yards. While not all of those were against Lane, most of them were.
The Seahawks don’t have depth at CB after their top 3. When Lane has an off-game, there’s simply no one on the bench who can come in and help.
Seattle’s margin for error at CB is very small. Their scheme puts a huge amount of pressure on the corners to step up and make plays. Normally they rise to the occasion, but that didn’t happen with Lane this week.
This is something the Seahawks have to make sure doesn’t happen next week. A repeat performance will lead to a blowout at the hands of Tom Brady and the Patriots.
