Suffering an embarrassing loss on their own turf, the Seattle Seahawks were defeated by themselves as well as the Buffalo Bills in a 31-10 defeat choked full of self-inflicted mistakes in all three phases.
Even amid the worst loss of the season thus far, however, several Seahawks still had stellar performances that were overshadowed by the litany of issues that plagued the team. Here are my top five grades from a lackluster Week 8 effort at Lumen Field:
Coby Bryant
Overall Grade: 84.0 (Run Defense 80, Tackling 90, Coverage 84)
A rare bright spot on defense for the Seahawks in his second straight start replacing injured veteran Rayshawn Jenkins, Bryant was one of the few players on Mike Macdonald's squad who didn't miss any tackles against the run on Sunday, and he also made a few stops to limit yards after the catch when Buffalo receivers got open against teammates in coverage. One of those stops flying up from a two-high shell to limit James Cook to an 11-yard gain likely prevented a touchdown, though the Bills wound up scoring a few plays later anyway.
