These two began fostering a friendship when Mayes was at Notre Dame and Buchanan was a member of the Indianapolis Colts, and they have remained close ever since.
Buchanan started a little good-natured trash-talking last week by saying the Seahawks receivers weren’t the kind you “lose sleep over.” Mayes responded with: “That’s just Ray.”
Buchanan has six interceptions this season, the second-highest total in the NFL. While he might see a lot of time against Sean Dawkins, his matchups with Mayes will also be worth watching. The Seahawks haven’t gotten Mayes as involved in the offense as they may have hoped this season.
Based on recent history, Anderson is a good bet to go over 1,000 yards for the season today. He needs 179 rushing yards, a mark that two opponents (Edgerrin James and Mike Anderson) have surpassed against the Seahawks’ run defense. In fact, those two performances rank among the top four ever by Seahawks opponents.
Seattle has the lowest-ranked defense in the NFL and is on pace to give up more yards than any Seahawks defense has over the course of a season. The run defense is on pace to give up almost 2,400 yards, which would mark the most given up by Seattle since the 1981 season.
