**Seahawks Aim to Build Momentum Against Buffalo Bills**

Midway through the season, the Seattle Seahawks remain a puzzle. The team started the Mike Macdonald era with an impressive 3-0, though the victories came against squads led by less formidable quarterbacks such as Denver rookie Bo Nix, New England's journeyman Jacoby Brissett, and Miami's backups Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle.

The team's fortunes quickly changed, suffering three straight losses in just 11 days, dropping to a 3-3 record. Losses to NFC powerhouses Detroit and San Francisco were somewhat expected due to a slew of injuries, but a Week 5 defeat to the struggling Giants raised eyebrows.

Seattle managed to quell some concerns with a commanding 34-14 victory over the Atlanta Falcons this past Sunday. This win was particularly notable given that Atlanta was riding a three-game winning streak and Seattle controlled the game, despite fielding three backup players in their secondary and a fourth-stringer at right tackle.

"I thought last week was a really good win," said FOX's lead NFL play-by-play broadcaster Kevin Burkhardt during the Seattle Sports' Brock and Salk show. He praised the team's defensive prowess and was impressed by how they managed to perform despite multiple injuries.

The real test for the Seahawks (4-3) comes this Sunday as they host Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills at Lumen Field. The Bills, boasting a 5-2 record, are considered one of the AFC's top teams with a strong offense and defense, ranking fifth and seventh in scoring, respectively.

"This game can really tell us who the Seahawks are," Burkhardt remarked. "Buffalo is a really good team, and I expect them to go deep in the playoffs. This matchup will be an ultimate test for Seattle."

Fans and analysts alike are keen to see if the Seahawks can leverage their recent victory to secure a significant win against a high-caliber opponent like Buffalo. The game will provide crucial insights into what the remainder of the season may hold for Seattle.
