The Seahawks play close to Canada in their home games which might explain why they feel right at home in Toronto.

They grabbed a 14-0 less than 10 minutes into their game against the Bills thanks to a pair of big runs by Russell Wilson. Wilson scampered for 14 yards for a score on the first Seattle possession of the game and then followed that up with a 25 yard jaunt on the second Seahawks drive. He’s got 59 rushing yards overall.

He’s also doing well at the more traditional quarterback role. He’s completed all five of his passes for 67 more yards on the two tidy scoring drives against a Bills defense that doesn’t seem to know what to do to counteract Seattle’s rookie quarterback.

The Seahawks have now scored 78 straight points dating back to overtime in Week 13.

UPDATE 4:37 p.m. ET: Just as we hit publish, C.J. Spiller sprints into the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown. The Madden cover jinx has nothing on us.
