The Buffalo Bills (4-5) started hot, stalled and then came on strong late in a dramatic 31-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks (5-2-1) , extending their losing streak to three games. Here are three takeaways.

A loss is always disappointing, but there are definitely positives to take away from a valiant effort from the Buffalo Bills in Seattle under the bright lights of Monday Night Football.

Bills’ fans did not have much to cheer about last week in the loss to the Patriots, but they were treated early with Buffalo jumping out to a 14-7 lead after the first quarter.

Rex Ryan’s squad was plagued by mistakes on defense and special teams in the first half but deserve a lot of credit for hanging in tough. They looked like a much different team in the second half, coming back from an 11-point deficit and having an opportunity to win the game at Seattle’s goal line with under a minute to play.

Yes, the Bills loss, but there were more positives than negatives. Here are three takeaways from the loss to the Seahawks.
